Complex Governance Networks: Foundational Concepts and Practical Implications (Routledge Research in Public Administration and Public Policy)

"Complex Governance Networks : Foundational Concepts and Practical Implications" by Göktuğ Morçöl, published by Routledge. ''What are the roles of governments and other actors in solving, or alleviating, collective action problems in today's world? The traditional conceptual frameworks of public administration and public policy studies have become less relevant in answering this question. This book critically assesses traditional conceptual frameworks and proposes an alternative: A Complex Governance Networks (CGN) framework. Advocating that complexity theory should be systematically integrated with foundational concepts of public administration and public policy, Gèoktuæg Morðcèol begins by clarifying the component concepts of CGN and then addresses the implications of CGN for key issues in public administration and policy studies: publicness, the state, rationality, effectiveness, accountability, and democracy. He illustrates the applicability of the CGN concepts with examples from the Covid-19 pandemic and metropolitan governance, particularly the roles of business improvement districts in governance processes. Morðcèol concludes by discussing the implications of CGN for the convergence of public administration and public policy education and offering suggestions for future studies using the CGN conceptualization. Complex Governance Networks is essential reading for both scholars and advanced students of public policy, public administration, public affairs, and related areas'' Book details: 242 pages, published 2023.
