The 21st century-world has entered a new age of epochal changes and globalization that have posed powerful challenges to societies, economies, governments, and administrative systems. Globalization has emerged with a predatory global system threatening humanity and nation-state governance and administration systems. Characterized by hyper-turbulences, nonlinear and chaotic changes, fatiguing crises, and paralyzing uncertainties, this environment of hyper-complexities requires entirely 'new capacities" to manage public governance and administration. Current capacities are inadequate and new design systems are needed. This paper addresses a macro perspective to building 'new capacity' in public governance and management for the age of globalization. A modest prescription for survival and prosperity is offered, specific strategies are outlined, and key areas of strategic capacity are delineated with suggestions for bold actions.
