摘要:
Governance as a word does not travel well between languages. Governance, especially when good is added, becomes a concept that is culturally defined. Governance in practice has fundamentally changed in the last decades. It is also clear that governance in theory and public administration (PA) research are struggling to encompass this evolving practice. Ideally, governance research is rigorous and relevant. In reality, it is sometimes not so rigorous, and also not so relevant. Our challenge for the future is obviously to be rigorous, and also to be relevant by being ahead of our realities. In this article we will look at how the practice of governance has changed over the last 30 years, how scholars tried to keep pace with these changes (or not), and how a governance research strategy may help to prepare for the future.
