Description and Table of Contents
Description
Leading scholars in the field of governance examine the effectiveness of the different non-institutional strategies at the disposal of modern governments in tackling issues of urban decline, public administrations, governmental regionalization, budget deficits and global economics. The governance approach to political science yields a new perspective on the role of the state, domestically as well as in the international arena. Globalization, internationalization, and
the growing influence of networks in domestic politics means that the notions of state strength and the role of the state in society must be re-examined.
