This handbook maps and analyses cross-sector (public?corporate?social?community?faith) governance theories, models and practices as they are evolving in a digital world. It studies human, cultural, societal, institutional interactions, and challenges in a digitally enabled world, especially in the context of post-Crisis resilience and agility.

Every global crisis forces societies and nations to realign, while addressing deeper structural and cultural issues in governance. The Covid-19 pandemic has necessitated swift local to global governance responses for timely digital innovations for health crisis interventions, economic recovery, and societal equity. While every nation-state is developing global pandemic responses in a digitally enabled world, the deeper crisis of human, institutional, and societal governance deficit is also evident. This handbook documents digital governance innovations that enhance stakeholder engagement and inclusion for resilient, accountable and effective governance across sectors.

The volume reflects on a range of theoretical frameworks adapted for understanding global and digital governance. It looks at

? International Governance Collaborations
? Corporate Governance Reform
? Education Governance Innovations
? Public Sector and Urban Governance
? Health System Governance
? Sustainability and Environmental Governance
? Community and Faith-Based Governance
? Digital, Cultural and Creativity Governance

This book is unique as it presents important work on post-covid digital and democratic governance, and brings together holistic - interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral perspectives from the global north and south - engaging the leading scholars, practitioners, businesses, and civil society. It will be of interest to multi-sector institutions and global audiences: governments, corporates, social sector institutions, digital entrepreneurs, students and researchers, academic professionals, policymakers, public and private sector institutional leaders, organisational and entrepreneurial innovators interested in the field of Governance.
