The early 21st century has presented considerable challenges to the problemsolving capacity of the contemporary state in the industrialised world. Among the many uncertainties, anxieties and tensions, it is, however, the cumulative challenge of fiscal austerity, demographic developments, and climate change that presents the key test for contemporary states. Debates abound regarding the state's ability to address these and other problems given increasingly dispersed forms of governing and institutional vulnerabilities created by politicoadministrative and economic decisionmaking structures. This volume advances these debates, first, by moving towards a crosssectoral perspective that takes into account the cumulative nature of the contemporary challenge to governance focusing on the key governance areas of infrastructure, sustainability, social welfare, and social integration; second, by considering innovations that have sought to add problemsolving capacity; and third, byexploring the kind of administrative capacities (delivery, regulatory, coordination, and analytical) required to encourage and sustain innovative problemsolving. This edition introduces a framework for understanding the four administrative capacities that are central to any attempt at problemsolving and how they enable the policy instruments of the state to have their intended effect. It also features chapters that focus on the way in which these capacities have become stretched and how they have been adjusted, given the changing conditions; the way in which different states have addressed particular governance challenges, with particular attention paid to innovation at the level of policy instrument and the required administrative capacities; and, finally, types of governance capacities that lie outside the boundaries of the state.
