The Governance Report 2018

The year 2018 marks the tenth anniversary of the full outbreak of what would come to be known as the global financial and economic crisis (GFC). Most of the countries that were impacted by the crisis have recovered economically, but traces of it still remain in terms of high public debt burdens, distrust in many institutions, and many other aspects. Now ten years on, this edition of the Governance Report offers an opportunity to look at these developments and consider how such financial and other global crises can be prevented or better managed. The Governance Report 2018 is the sixth in an annual series about the changing conditions of governance, the challenges and opportunities involved, and the implications and recommendations that present themselves to analysts and policy-makers. The Governance Report is an interdisciplinary effort to examine state-of-the-art governance. In doing so, it enlists experts from the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin as well as from other institutions. Special attention is paid to institutional designs and approaches, changes, and innovations that both state and non-state actors have adopted in response to shifts that have been occurring
