The debate on governance originates in the OECD world. At the
latest since the postcolonial debate, we know that we need to
"test" our assumptions under radically different conditions. This
book offers an extended perspective of local self-governance by
examining cases from South Asia, Africa, and Latin America,
together with a study of militias in the USA. The chapters present
a wide variety of local actors who pursue different notions of
order legitimized by local traditions based on hierarchy or deeply
rooted communalism, Islamic theology, or grassroots democracy. Some
local actors claim a state-like authority and challenge the
territorial state. In such cases, there is no longer "a shadow
hierarchy" but opposition to the state. Different violent actors
fight for supremacy, and the state is just one actor among others.
The empirical studies presented in this book show how different
kinds of local self-governance are combined with varieties of
statehood, and thus contribute to an understanding of the notion of
governance in a fundamental sense that goes beyond the special case
of the OECD world.
