Over the last few decades, the Westphalian nation-state has lost
its hegemonic position in the system of geo-governance. A
dispersive revolution has led to the emergence of powerful newly
networked business organizations, new subsidiary-focused
governments, and increasingly virtual, elective, and malleable
communities. This in turn has led to the crystallization of
distributed governance regimes, based on a wider variety of more
fluid and always evolving groups of stakeholders.
In "The New Geo-Governance," Gilles Paquet develops a general
conceptual framework to deal with the new evolving reality of
global governance. He uses this framework to critically examine the
evolving territorial governance (hemispheric governance,
meso-innovation systems, smart city-regions) and tackles the more
complex governance challenges raised by sustainability and
common-property resources like oceans. Paquet further explores the
implications of this emerging polycentric geo-governance on the new
forms of stewardship and its impact on citizenship, federalism, and
other technologies of coordination, and reflects on the sort of
subversive bricolage required if the missing mechanisms for
effective coordination are to be put in place.
The New Geo-Governance will be of great interest to students and
scholars interested in governance, organizational design,
international affairs, and political studies.
