Introduction: Agile governance for a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world

Abstract

This special issue on ‘Governing a VUCA World’ aims to contribute to ongoing endeavours in expanding the practices and theories of governance by bringing in perspectives and case studies from the Global South at a time of great turbulence and uncertainties. It hopes to further advance discussions pertaining to various aspects of Asian experiences of governance in developing a model of transnational governance that embraces agility and flexibility in navigating a VUCA world that is fraught with volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity.
