Governments today face the growing challenge of biowarfare threats while balancing economic resilience and effective public management. As biological threats evolve and economic models shift, policymakers must navigate the complex intersection of national security and capitalism. How can the public sector adapt to these emerging risks while fostering collaboration with private industry?
Public Sector Perspectives on Biowarfare and Creative Capitalism (ISBN: 9798369357088) critically explores these pressing issues. Examining the corporatization of the public sector, the book analyzes how capitalism and policymaking shape biosecurity strategies and economic stability. Covering topics such as biological weapons, lobbying, and public management, it offers valuable insights for policymakers, government officials, economists, business leaders, researchers, and academics seeking proactive solutions in an era of uncertainty. Edited by Caroline Covell, an expert in public leadership and administration with extensive experience in government, research, and policy analysis, this work provides key insights into fostering secure and sustainable governance in an era of emerging global challenges.
