The significance of political innovation has gained increasing attention among governments worldwide. The message is clear: the public sector must embrace innovation to effectively respond to the challenges and demands of modern society. This interest in public innovation extends to students of public policy and governance, who are actively engaged in defining, conceptualizing, analyzing, and prescribing strategies to enhance innovation in the public sector.

While significant progress has been made in the study of innovations in public services and public delivery, there has been a relative lack of attention to the political context in which public service innovation occurs. Innovations in polity, politics, and policy are fundamental aspects of public innovation, and a comprehensive research agenda must encompass these dimensions.

This book aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive exploration of political innovation. It offers a theoretical framework that helps scholars and researchers understand the dynamics and processes of political innovation, as well as the factors that promote and hinder it. The book also presents a rich collection of empirical studies that examine innovative practices in various domains of politics and policy, including policy strategies, political leadership, community self-organizing, political parties, and informal governance.

By examining these diverse contexts, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between politics, policy, and innovation, and provides insights into how these three domains interact and influence each other. The book will be of great value to scholars and researchers interested in Public Administration, Policy Making and Innovation, Public Governance and Political Leadership. It will serve as a valuable resource for those seeking to advance their understanding of the dynamics and processes of political innovation, and to develop effective strategies for promoting and facilitating innovation in the public sector.

The special issue focused on political innovation, bringing together experts from various disciplines to explore the latest research and insights in this area. The contributions in the book reflect the cutting-edge nature of the field and provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on political innovation.
