In 15 papers from a June 2013 conference in New York City, social scientists explore what the global governance context means for public administration theory, practice, and research; administrative dimensions in global governance: autonomy, legitimacy, and influence; and examining the public administration and international relations nexus regarding global health. Their topics include building public administration theory for global governance, the International Space Station as an example of transboundary leadership in science and technology, the autonomy of international bureaucracies, emerging patterns of regional government in East Asia, and insights from public administration scholarship for addressing global health governance challenges.
