Since the 1990s, scholars around the world have focused on the complexities of governance reforms. The vicissitudes of the 21st century witnessed global waves for public administration reforms. China, a fast developing socialist country, has been building a strong, robust and modern public governance system. The Socialist Governance of China with Chinese characteristics brought considerable changes in the political, economic and social spheres, transforming the lives of people for betterment. By bringing about economic development through state intervention, introducing rule of law upholding the significance of its people, fostering new ideas, and ushering the ideology of nationalism through “China Dream”, President Xi Jinping and his socialist governance policies have created an excellent example in the world, particularly the capitalist society, demonstrating how society can be developed through socialist ways. Yet, the dynamics of Chinese governance has always been part science and part mystery to other governments that have earned legitimacy through elections, while China’s leaders earned its legitimacy through selection of the most able and their performance in delivering sustained improvements in the quality of life of the Chinese citizens and China's international standing. This paper deals with assessing the relevance of China’s Socialist governance evolution into a science of managing public affairs and the pursuit to optimizing its impact on the state’s economic, political and social spheres.

This chapter is based on different aspects of working of the public governance system in India as well as certain measures to improve the quality of the democratic governance system in the country. Good governance is a constitutional right of the people of India, states Dr Singhvi in his oration. Dr Singhvi was a great advocate of good governance and decentralization. He believed that small states are vehicles of good governance in the country. We have finally opted out of what was derisively called the Hindu rate of growth. We have a vision 2020, a vision of growth and strength, but will our democratic governance deliver on that vision? If our pravasis could do it in other countries why can we in partnership with them and the entrepreneurs around the world do it in India?

Climate change has become one of the most challenging issues for the international system in this 21st century because its negative impact has been founded in every regions in the world. One of those is Africa with its far-lagged behind and poorer performance in political, economic, and social sectors than any other parts of the world. This article tries to analyze the ongoing process of the creation of good governance in Africa's climate change dynamics. In Africa, the progress of civil society activism is predicted to be more important factor than the policy outcome from its government in making good governance. In this context, the rise of civil society should be better understood as being an equal partner than a competitor to the policy-makers to have more intensive cooperation and collaboration to solve the urgent climate problems in Africa at present.

Nowadays, globalization has become one of the most popular concepts of various fields of scientificknowledge. But a unified conceptual system of views on the essence of globalization and the nature of itsimpact has not yet been established. The polarization of theoretical constructs of globalization today castsdoubt on the possibility of forming a coherent theoretical vision of the content of globalization, the patterns ofits influence, and the prospects for the development of the world as a whole. The growing interdependencebetween government and globalization unifies and standardizes the conditions and factors of development ofindividual countries in the world. It is a kind of indicator of determining the level of sustainability of the development of nation states and, as a conclusion, their potential in facing the challenges of globalization processes. It is these processes that have become the main criterion for the integration of states into relevantglobal or regional structures in our time. Only a state that has an active system of government, implementsits own geopolitical development strategy, maximizes its sovereignty, oriented in the global space, and mostimportantly, it has effective mechanisms of influence and even management can withstand such a globalization challenge.

This chapter opens the empirical section of the book with the Swedish case. Beginning in the 1930s, policymakers across the world turned to credit rationing, state aid, and planning. This volte-face away from free markets was particularly pronounced in Sweden, which could rely on tight-knit networks to implement and scale new ideas through the politics of persuasion, compensation, and coordination. In many respects, Sweden eclipsed even France, the paradigmatic statist economy, both in its capacity to reform public policy as well as its ability to foster the growth of large, capital-intensive manufacturing enterprises. At the same time, state intervention proved increasingly dysfunctional over time, generating unsustainable trade and fiscal deficits and a deep economic crisis.

Neologisms refer to the words created to express new things, new concepts and new ideas in written and oral communication. Since the 1980s, the world has entered into an information age. The world has witnessed great changes in political, economic, cultural field. At the same time, China has been carrying out a series of political and economic reforms, which have brought about amazing changes in all social aspects. As a result, a great deal of neologisms have appeared both in English and Chinese. There are three sources of neologisms both in English and Chinese: creating new words with native word elements, adding new meanings to existing words and borrowing new words from other languages. This paper focus on the first one of these three sources: word-formation, and analyzes the similarities and differences of three major ways of word-formation of neologisms in both English and Chinese: compounds, affixations, shortenings.

‘Good governance’ is considered a crucial element for peace and development of societies, because it implies good order and good policies. In the context of the family institution, this is a must in order to ensure that the basic unit of society is protected from destruction. In relation to this, most scholars have acknowledged that all over the world, the family has undergone radical transformations in response to the changing socio-economic environment. However, the breadth and depth of this change in the realm of good governance has often been neglected. This article begins by examining contemporary challenges confronting the family institution. Justifications for state intervention through the existing family laws in Malaysia as one of the mechanisms in protecting the family will also be analysed. To ensure that family stability can be maintained and developed, ‘qur'anic governance’ is proposed as a mechanism for social transformation.
