The Changing Role of the State

This volume collects the proceedings of The Changing Role of the State: Visions and Experiences, organized by the Economic Research Forum in Cairo, Egypt in April 2005. It examines how globalization, liberalization, and conflict shape the state, and argues for a new paradigm in analyzing the role of the state. The book presents scholarly chapters on topics such as accountability, information, budgets, and parliamentary mechanisms, offering both theoretical discussions and empirical insights.
