Globalization means a lot to international corporate organizations and governments across the world, particularly when it comes to governance and public administration. The different forms of globalization define the numerous challenges facing corporate organizations and the civil administrative institutions of many countries. Here, note that globalization plays the role of shaping the current trends in the global economic markets and the increasing interactions among nations and people from different parts of the world. On the other hand, the new forms of interactions among nations imply that the contemporary governments must assume new roles and functions, and thus, globalization impacts governance and public administration in different ways. Several research studies have examined and documented the implications of globalization on the type of governance being practiced by different governments and international corporate organizations such as the World Bank and the United Nations (Abonyi & Van Slyke, 2010; Farazmand, 2009; Feiock, Moon, & Park, 2008; Xu & Weller, 2009). Globalization poses critical challenges to governments and corporate organizations around the world. These challenges include the need to understand the dynamics of global value chains, creating trade facilitation structures, developing partnerships, and the establishment of value chains and networks (Abonyi & Van Slyke, 2010). Moreover, the emergence of new challenges in governance means that the traditional administrative styles are no longer appropriate or effective in addressing contemporary problems (Farazmand, 2009). Other implications of globalization are associated with the increasing volume of trade and the rapid changes in the labor markets across the globe. This paper discusses the major themes, the methods of inquiry, and the findings/conclusions of four different articles on globalization and its implications for governance and public administration. Furthermore, this paper provides a personal assessment of the quality of arguments and the significance of the conclusions provided. Major Themes The author(s) of the articles reviewed in this paper provides important insights into the topic of globalization and its implications for governance. According to Abonyi and Van Slyke (2010), the globalization of production poses special challenges to many governments and public institutions. While exploring the key challenges facing different economies in Southeast Asia, the authors noted that many governments and public institutions face the challenge of recognizing the need to establish global value chains as globalization enhances competition in international trade and production. Furthermore, governments and public institutions face the challenge of transforming the domestic import-export systems and other trade procedures to facilitate trade in a globally interconnected and networked environment. In addition, with increased globalization, governments and public institutions must embrace the need to invest more in logistics systems to facilitate international production, trade, and investments. Lastly, globalization has also magnified the need for governments to strengthen the domestic enterprise clusters to ensure that they benefit from the numerous opportunities arising from global value chains (Abonyi & Van Slyke, 2010). On the other hand, Farazmand (2009) shows that one of the most critical implications of globalization for governance and public administration entails the changes it brings to the traditional ad
