Evaluate the current policy or policies for issue-challenge

Assignment : Position Paper

Public administration is an essential link between citizens and governments. With the rapid pace of globalization, the public sector is under even greater pressure to increase its capacity to deal with the new challenges and opportunities that globalization presents. The relationship between globalization and governance is multidimensional. States/countries with high levels of integration with the rest of the world tend to have better governance outcomes on the whole. Of course, the quality of governance can be directly related to the social and economic integration between states. The gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, religion, natural resources, fractionalization, and government size largely decide the outcomes.

Like globalization, governance can be conceived broadly or narrowly. How does globalization affect macroeconomic policymaking?

In this assignment, you are expected to select one country and do the following:

• Discuss a significant issue/challenge arising from globalization that has taken place in the last 3-5 years.

• Critically evaluate the current policy or policies for the issue/challenge.

• Consider possible alternatives.

• Advocate a particular policy choice and provide a rationale.

4. Recommend one policy action based on your analysis of a set of alternatives. Provide a rationale for your recommendation.

5. Provide at least three reliable, relevant, peer-reviewed references (no more than one used previously), published within the last 5 years, that support the paper's claims.
