Special Issue on Political Governance and Decision-Making

Political Governance and Decision-Making refers to the processes through which political leaders, institutions, and organizations make choices that affect the governance of a society. It encompasses the structures, systems, and strategies used to formulate policies, allocate resources, and manage public affairs. Decision-making in political governance is influenced by various factors, including political ideologies, power dynamics, public opinion, and economic considerations. The field examines how decisions are made at different levels of government, the role of democratic processes, and how governance affects social, economic, and environmental outcomes. It also explores the relationship between leaders, institutions, and citizens in shaping effective and accountable governance.
