{"product_id":"governing-for-the-future-jonathan-boston-9781786350565","title":"Governing for the Future: Designing Democratic Institutions for a Better Tomorrow","description":"This book is about governing well for the future. It investigates the nature of, and the conditions for, prudent long-term democratic governance in a dynamic, complex, and uncertain world, the reasons why such governance is politically challenging, and how such challenges can best be tackled. In particular, it addresses the problem of 'short-termism' - or a 'presentist bias' - in policy-making; that is, the risk of governments placing undue weight on near-term considerations at the expense of a society's overall long-term welfare. As such, the book traverses both normative and empirical issues. The approach is primarily qualitative rather than quantitative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Boston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786350564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786350565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Emerald Group Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.60d","brand":"Jonathan Boston","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136897036543,"sku":"9781786350565","price":225.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_978229ad-8308-4398-a45e-e2a589b54fe1.jpg?v=1770165182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/governing-for-the-future-jonathan-boston-9781786350565","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
