Governments around the world face the challenge of espousing principles of fairness but practicing inequity in their administration. Issues of equity and justice are fundamental concerns of government, and thus to public administrators, who constantly struggle to evaluate a country’s social climate and ensure equity in governance. Such evaluation is unlikely to occur in a serious way, however, if government actors are fundamentally too uncomfortable to directly engage the topic. The result, this book argues, is a context of 'nervousness,' which unless squarely acknowledged and addressed, can become debilitating and thwart progress toward achieving social equity. This volume explores and expands our understanding of the concept of nervousness in the administration of government services around the world, demonstrating the ways in which such an emotional and physical reaction can debilitate government actions that are needed to promote social equity and justice. Each of the chapters in this edited volume focuses on a single country and examines a specific nervous area of government, highlighting important historical and political considerations, as well as specific evidence of promising progress. It considers the complexity of nervous areas of governments around the world, while identifying encouraging approaches and initiatives. Global Equity in Administration is required reading for all practicing and aspiring public servants concerned with fair and equitable provision of public services around the world.

"This is the right book at the right time on the right topic. Taking a global approach to social equity, chapters illustrate the universality of inequity and the unique challenges in different countries. This is a great resource for everyone who cares about human rights."Mary E. Guy, University of Colorado Denver, USA"This is a ground-breaking book that should be required reading in all public administration and policy programs. The chapters show how nervousness--human emotions, values and physical behavior—around race can impede governments' ability to promote social equity and justice. This is a major intellectual contribution to the fields of public administration, management and policy."Norma M. Riccucci, Rutgers Newark University, USA
