Numerous studies have been conducted on government performance. There are competing explanations of government performance among exogenous economic and political shocks, social capital, intuitional capacity, and leadership. How do economic crises, globalization, and social capital influence government capacity or performance? What are the most important impacts of global economic shock and e-governance on the function of government performance? Which policy tools are more or less effective to mediate the function of government performance? These are a fundamental and enduring question for scholars in the field of public management.
