Future governance: 'black elephants' and dialectics.

This book could be a good read for individuals interested in understanding and addressing challenges to good governance in a rapidly changing and uncertain world. Through four lectures, Peter Ho explores the complexity of modern governance and suggests practical solutions for building resilience and a comparative advantage in this landscape. The use of metaphors, such as the 'black elephant,' and the 'dialectic of governance,' makes the book accessible and thought-provoking. It is recommended for policymakers, academics, and anyone interested in understanding contemporary governance challenges.

Description

Peter Ho, former Head of the Singapore Civil Service, was the Institute of Policy Studies' 2016/17 S R Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore.This book collects the four IPS-Nathan Lectures that he delivered between April and May 2017, and gathers highlights of his dialogues with the audience.Ho surveys the increasingly complex world, and suggests what governments can do to prepare for the future — even as no one can predict it. He uses metaphors such as the "black elephant" and concepts like the "dialectic of governance" to explain how a systematic approach to thinking about the future can help countries in general — and Singapore in particular — build resilience and develop a comparative advantage in the face of uncertainty and rapid change.The IPS-Nathan Lectures series was launched in 2014 as part of the S R Nathan Fellowship for the Study of Singapore. Its primary goal is to promote public understanding and discourse of issues of critical national interest. General public, professionals, students, researchers, diplomats, and foreign visitors interested in knowing more about Singapore and what lies ahead for the city-state.
