Document Summary
Governance refers to all processes of governing, whether undertaken by a government, market, or network, whether over a family, tribe, formal or informal organization, or territory, and whether through laws, norms, power, or language. Governance differs from government n that it focuses less on the state and its institutions and more on social practices and activities. Governance differs from government both theoretically and empirically. Governance is the process of governing: it is what governments do to their citizens, it is also what corporations and other organizations do to their employees and members. Refers to processes of rules wherever they occur. The process of governing need not to be consciously undertaken by a hierarchy organize set of actors. Markets and networks of actors can govern, produce coordination, and make decisions. Refers to a shift in public organization since the 1980s. Increasingly governments rely on private and voluntary sector actors to manage and deliver services.
