Abstract
Western approaches defined the twentieth-century emergence of policy studies as a distinctive scholarly field. In the twenty-first century, the “ascendance of Asia†will demand critical reflection on how we define public policy, administration, and governance; what public policy entails; and how it is managed and implemented. Will Harold Lasswell’s postwar vision of policy studies as a cross-cutting discipline capable of informing the decisions of industrial societies maintain salience? Or do the extraordinary changes wrought by globalization demand a new orientation for policy studies?
