About the book
The Public Policy Bridge: Essays on Governing Kerala brings together researchers, practitioners and young scholars to examine the questions that will shape the state over the next twenty five years: public finances and federal relations, an ageing society, the changing nature of work and migration, climate risk, urbanisation, technology, and the health of democratic institutions.
Each essay is written for an informed general reader. Together they offer a picture of a society that has achieved much and faces new challenges that its past successes do not automatically equip it to meet.
