Policy Coordination Frameworks in the New Reality
摘要
Policy coordination in the public sector pertains to the alignment of actions and interactions among agencies, officials, and politicians within individual sectoral institutions involved in a specific policy area or the execution of a particular activity or task. The effectiveness and legitimacy of democratic governance in modern states hinge critically on governments’ ability to coordinate decision-making and policymaking in an increasingly complex and multifaceted environment influenced by existing challenges and emerging risks. Effective policy coordination often requires intensive collaboration and communication between various government agencies and departments. The chapter discusses Latvia’s complex, multi-dimensional landscape, where a need remains for systematisation of knowledge and knowledge sharing among policy sectors to effectively manage and implement policy coordination during crises.
