As managing editor of "Asia Pacific World: The Journal of the International Association for Asia Pacific Studies," I am currently looking for someone who would be interested in writing a book review on the following book, which looks at governance reform in Asia (a description is provided below).
Title: Building Trust in Government: Innovations in Governance Reform in Asia
Editors: G. Shabbir Cheema & Vesselin Popovski
Publisher: United Nations University Press
Publication date: 2010
This book seeks to answer many of the questions raised in reference to means of strengthening trust in government within the Asia Pacific region. Through analyses of trends within North-East Asia, South-East Asia, South Asia and the Pacific Islands and specific innovations and reforms at the country level, the contributors have provided various perspectives on the causes of the decline in trust, countries and institutions that have managed to maintain higher degrees of confidence, and governance innovations and practices that have played an important role in
strengthening trust once it has faltered.
Table of contents
If you are interested in undertaking the review, please email your CV to me at ap-world@apu.ac.jp. The time-frame for review is approximately 8 weeks, and the word count is approximately 800-1,000 words.
