Adapting to the new fundamentals is critical for government as well as for business. Governments - especially those without access to rich natural resources - are being offered new ways to help their economies compete and prosper. At the same time, they face new threats to job security along with related political and social conflicts. These challenges are exacerbated by the economic downturn and terrorist threats of 2001. Governments need to respond, but find themselves less powerful relative to private and non-profit institutions than they have been in the past, and often without jurisdictional authority over many of the important conflicts that need to be resolved. This paper explores critical and challenging roles for government in a world of knowledge based economies and global electronic commerce.
