Decision-making is at the heart of governing and governance, and is
a more challenging task compared to just a few decades ago as a
result of increasing social complexity and globalization. In this
book, B. Guy Peters and Jon Pierre propose a new framework for the
comparative analysis of governance, arguing that government remains
a central actor in governance. By articulating the functionalist
dimension of governance they show how goal setting, resource
mobilization, decision-making, implementation and feedback can be
performed by a combination of different types of actors. Even so,
effective governance requires a leading role for government. The
framework is also applied to a taxonomy of governance arrangements
and national styles of governing. Comparative Governance advances
our knowledge about governance failure and how forms of governance
may change. It also significantly strengthens the theory of
governance, showing how governance can be studied conceptually as
well as empirically.
