This needs to re-energise existing institutions of governance through much-needed innovations, leading to transformations in the respective roles of state, market and civil society to ensure responsibility/accountability, transparency and reduction in fiscal deficit in national economy. While liberal/progressive agenda of continuing reforms for common welfare must be dynamically pursued to accomplish timely innovations in governance, minimising exclusive production, putting huge burden on economy and reducing per-capita share, may help-reinvent an active democracy, thereby further expanding freedom of choice and opportunities to all in the era of digitalisation preceded by liberalisation and globalisation. – Reproduced Innovation, Governance, Political theory, Liberal-modern state, Democracy, Globalisation, Liberalisation, Digitalisation. 33485 Indian Journal of Public Administration PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 394700 IIPA IIPA 2022-09-28 68(3), Sep, 2022: p.473-485 AR127226 2022-09-28 AR
