This edited volume discusses new approaches to good governance in East Asia and Latin America, with a focus on the Philippines and Chile. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in both countries between late 2023 and 2024, the chapters, written by a diverse group of contributors from the private sector, government, civil society, and academia, offer fresh insights into emerging trends in good governance. The themes covered in the volume span from democratic deconsolidation, to constitutional reform, indigenous rights, food security, horizontal inequalities and social unrest, and maritime security.
