Neoliberal reforms and globalization have deeply transformed the
state and set in motion a momentous shift from 'government' to
'governance'. Governance entails a move away from traditional
hierarchical forms of organization and the adoption of network
forms. It also entails a revision of the relationship between state
and civil society in a more participatory direction. Governance is
finally said to be responsible for shifting the emphasis away from
statute law to more flexible forms of regulation and
implementation. The state is thus claimed to be superseded by a
'networked polity' where authority is devolved to task-specific
institutions with unlimited jurisdictions and intersecting
memberships operating at sub- and supra-national level. This volume
brings together a representative sample of the key articles that
established governance as a major field of research and helped
clarify the main critical issues to be addressed by those involved
in research and teaching in this area.
