Details

Policymakers will have to deal with the aftereffects of the global pandemic (COVID19), Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, China-Taiwan tension, inflation, economic challenges, deglobalization, as well as an ever-faster development of technologies. But the complexity of the situation will not only require action but also transformation. To cope with the challenges there needs to be a new policy framework, new key success factors, an improvement of the policy network, development of governance services and new public ethics and responsibilities.
