What do public administrators and policy analysts have in common?
Their work is undertaken within networks formed when different
organizations align to accomplish a policy function. This second
edition of Governance Networks in Public Administration and Public
Policy offers a conceptual framework for describing governance
networks and provides a theoretical and empirical foundation in
their construction. Based on research and real-life experience, the
book highlights the interplay between public actors and policy
tools, details the skills and functions of public administrators in
the context of networked relationships, and identifies the reforms
and trends in governing that lead to governance networks. This
practical text makes complex concepts accessible, so that readers
can engage in them, apply them, and deepen their understanding of
the dynamics unfolding around them. This second edition includes: A
dedicated chapter on "complexity friendly" meso-level theories to
examine core questions facing governance network analysis. New
applications drawn from the authors' own work in watershed
governance, transportation planning, food systems development,
electric energy distribution, the regulation of energy, and
response and recovery from natural disasters, as well as from
unique computational modeling of governance networks. Instructor
and student support materials, including PowerPoint (R)
presentations and writable case study templates, may be found on an
accompanying eResource page. Governance Networks in Public
Administration and Public Policy, 2e is an indispensable core text
for graduate and postgraduate courses on governance and
collaboration in schools of Public Administration/Management and
Public Policy.
