Governance Networks in Public Administration and Public Policy
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-28610-8 (ISBN)
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® presentations and writable case study templates, may be found on an accompanying eResource page.
