Good governance is a key factor for national, regional and local development, which many countries aim to achieve and maintain. In a context of changing international equilibrium, transnational crisis and further integration, European democracies require innovative solutions for developing their institutional capacities and resilience. The 11 case studies incorporated in this volume showcase a broad range of national experiences with good governance and resilience in challenging times. Given the wide spread and coverage of various European experiences, the lessons to be learned and good practices to be shared cannot rely on a single, unique framework, as it cannot capture the overall diversity of contextual elements and relevant parameters of good governance and resilience. Therefore, the volume aims at showcasing positive examples that drive the capacity of organizations to manage unexpected circumstances and drawing a series of lessons to be learnt, in a comparative and transnational approach.
