The editors take pride in acknowledging the role of the Network of Asia Pacific Schools and Institutes of Public Administration and Governance, (NAPSIPAG) in making the present book possible. NAPSIPAG is the largest governance research network in the Asia Pacific region, which has been organizing an annual international meeting of administrators, academia, and non- state bodies where regional scholars critically deliberate with international governance experts. This is a process through which many young and upcoming scholars are also trained and academic brilliance is generated. NAPSIPAG has also helped the international policy organizations to have a better understanding of the region through a local lens of Asiatic anthropology, ethnography, and culture of administration. The book is an out- come of the academic and practitioners’ discourses generated mainly by NAPSIPAG members.
