CHAPTER 9: GOVERNANCE-Knill & Tosun
-no consensus regarding its meaning and specific applicability, used in
both analytical and normative sense. 2 conceptions:
1. governance as political steering and attempts at coordinating individual
action in order to achieve certain policy goals
2. distinctive mode of steering, non hierarchical approach, governance as
self-organizing, interorganizational networks. These networks encompass
not only public but also private actors and the cooperation between them is
based on the exchange of resources and negotiation over shared policy
objectives and resources. global governance & transnational
governance: non hierarchical intervention-governance networks: the mode
of hierarchical intervention is restricted to the nation state
a multi purpose label
many centers of power, state steps back shifting responsibility; no
actors has the knowledge or resources to act unilaterally
MODES OF GOVERNANCE
by hierarchy: stresses the role of formal rules and procedures that
are binding for both private and public actors, the state has a
monopoly on the use of force to bring public actors in compliance
with public policy
state has a sanctioning power, asymmetrical relationship
between public and private actors
defines the legal framework in which economic activities
occur
problems receiving attention from policy makers may deviate
from what citizens regard as problems
command and control, coercive techniques
, Klijn: ood governance or corporate governance, is based on concepts that are
fairly strong connected to the traditional government literature. As such they are
not only not very new but also strongly connected to the internatal organisation
of government.
by markets: goods and services are allocated efficiently without
intervention by the state. Markets provide individual and
corporate actors with an ideal setting for exchanging resources
based on price upon which they can judge to agree on a
transaction or not
actors are rational
to remedy the disadvantages of market governance would be to
strengthen the established hierarchy, the rules
political and administrative actors are interrelated; political
administrative system
o ‘active ,regulatory state’: proactive style of
encompassing policy planning and engineering social
reforms. It does not provide common goods but enables
them to be provided
Hierarchical market regulation-shift in hierarchy
Klijn: The literature on improving performance by market governance
and performance indicators includes arguments that are strongly related
to the ideas of new public managemen
by networks: policy networks are defined as a set of
interdependent public and private actors who interact informally
to achieve distinctive but interdependent goals.
They are linked to one another through the exchange of
expertise, policy relevant information and resources
They provide resources to intervene in policy areas which are
not available within the state apparatus
