Theories heralding the rise of network governance have dominated
for a generation. Yet, empirical research suggests that claims for
the transformative potential of networks are exaggerated. This
topical and timely book takes a critical look at contemporary
governance theory, elaborating a Gramscian alternative. It argues
that, although the ideology of networks has been a vital element in
the neoliberal hegemonic project, there are major structural
impediments to accomplishing it. While networking remains
important, the hierarchical and coercive state is vital for the
maintenance of social order and integral to the institutions of
contemporary governance. Reconsidering it from Marxist and
Gramscian perspectives, the book argues that the hegemonic ideology
of networks is utopian and rejects the claim that there has been a
transformation from 'government' to 'governance'. This important
book has international appeal and will be essential reading for
scholars and students of governance, public policy, human
geography, public management, social policy and sociology.
