<br/><br/> The book examines arguably the biggest but less discussed development challenge faced by India, the deficient capacity of public systems to both design effective policies and implement them.<br/>It offers a new analytical framework to think about effectiveness of state and on the policy making process, and nuanced perspective on many of the popular themes in public administration.<br/>It is an account that combines the academic literature and a practitioner's perspective on the topic.<br/>There are few works that address this subject, especially by serving senior officials.
