Governance has become one of the most commonly used concepts in
contemporary political science. It is, however, often used to mean
a variety of different things. This book helps to clarify this
conceptual muddle by concentrating on one variety of
governance-interactive governance. The authors argue that although
the state may remain important for many aspects of governing,
interactions between state and society represent an important, and
perhaps increasingly important, dimension of governance. These
interactions may be with social actors such as networks, with
market actors or with other governments, but all these forms
represent means of governing involving mixtures of state action
with the actions of other entities.This book explores thoroughly
this meaning of governance, and links it to broader questions of
governance. In the process of explicating this dimension of
governance the authors also explore some of the more fundamental
questions about governance theory. For example, although governance
is talked about a great deal political science has done relatively
little about how to measure this concept. Likewise, the term
multi-level governance has become widely used but its important to
understand that idea more fully and see how it functions in the
context of interactive forms of governance. The authors also link
governance to some very fundamental questions in political science
and the social sciences more broadly. How is power exercised in
interactive governance? How democratic is interactive governance,
and is democratic governance always advanced through transparency?
