In the past two decades, governance theories have arisen
semi-independently across multiple disciplines. In law and
regulation, planning, democratic theory, economics, public
management, and international relations, among other disciplines,
scholars have sought to describe new strategies of governing. As a
result, the term 'governance' is one of the most frequently used
social science concepts in the world. No single theory encompasses
this diverse body of work, but rather multiple theories with
different aims and perspectives. The Handbook on Theories of
Governance collects these theories of governance together as an
analytical resource for scholars, students and practitioners. The
handbook advances a deeper theoretical understanding of governance
processes while illuminating the interdisciplinary foundations of
the field. By reviewing key theoretical concepts, the handbook
provides a basic conceptual toolkit for analyzing contemporary
governance and offers important insights into how governance
research contributes to social science theory development. By
canvassing the different forms of governance, the chapters also
reveal the diversity of contemporary governing practices. An
epilogue identifies common themes across the chapters and points to
opportunities for future research. In our increasingly complex,
fragmented and dynamic society, this Handbook is a key resource for
those who seek to deepen or broaden their theoretical understanding
of governance. It will be a powerful aid for scholars, students and
practitioners who wish to gauge the theoretical depth and breadth
of governance studies. Contributors include: C. Ansell, I. Bache,
