Re-Thinking Governance In Public Policy. Dynamics, Strategy And Capacities
No full textGovernance is not a fashion, but a firmly-established lens through which to analyze the complexity of contemporary policy making, that is, the way in which a society and its political processes are organized and steered. Thus governance needs to be seen as a general concept within political analysis which represents a necessary, heuristic tool with which to describe some of the complexity of political processes. Governance is not only a fashionable term, but one destined to remain with us for some time yet.
However, despite a great deal having been written on the subject in recent years, questions remain about many fundamental aspects of governance. This is especially the case in both defining and understanding governance modes and their dynamics, the subject of this book. Many “Varieties of Governance” exist, both cross-nationally and cross sectorally and understanding why this is the case and how it has come about is important for the future of governance studies.
In this introductory chapter, after a brief reflection on the heuristic relevance of the concept, we focus on the following three specific aspects of governance: dynamics, strategy and capacity. The notion of ‘governance dynamics’ suggests that ‘modes of governance’ identified in earlier studies may not be stable, but rather dynamic, meaning that that there are no set governance arrangements within a given political system. These may change over the course of time, as governments adopt different architectural features and mix policy tools in different ways. A mode of governance , in this perspective is an equilibrium moment, rather than a permanent stable construct.
‘Governance strategy’ is a concept which reflects this ability of governments to alter governance arrangements and give them their dynamic character. It suggests that behind every mode or governance equilibrium lies a specific undertaking by different policy actors, as they seek the best governance arrangement to attain their purposes, and consequently try to see that it is established. This is particularly true of governments, since they continue to be in charge of systemic responsibility and are the most powerful authoritative actors in virtually all societies.
“Governance capacity”, is a third critical concept, one which emphasizes that not every choice of governance mechanism is likely to be equally successful in terms of attaining government goals. Every governance arrangement must be effective, that is, capable of resolving political and policy problems, but simply designating or advocating a specific arrangement does not ensure its success

Ramesh Chandra Sinha (1934–2020)
Get PDFRamesh Chandra Sinha, a highly respected internationally recognized plant virologist, died peacefully in Ottawa, Canada, on June 14, 2020. He was born on February 10, 1934, in Bareilly, India. His outstanding achievements include the identification of wound tumor virus (WTV) multiplication sites in its leafhopper vector and the development of cost-effective tools for the detection of phytoplasmas and mycotoxins. Additionally, his research findings on the economically important barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) laid the foundation for the control of diseases caused by this virus in cereal crops

Disentangling the mechanistic chain for better policy design
No full textUnderstanding how policy design can incentivize, constrain, and otherwise structure policy targets’ behavior to achieve desired results is vital but requires a clear understanding of the mechanisms that link policy tools to actual behavior. More importantly, it requires reasoning in terms of the processes and interactions that can be activated by policy tools to accomplish desired results. It is therefore imperative that policy designers – both those who study it and those who practice it – specify clearly the linkages between the input (policy design) and the output, via the intended and unintended processes triggered by the design. Many existing analytical efforts focus only on shedding light on what is needed for good policy design and ignore how good policy design works in terms of the types of processes that can be activated to achieve (or not) the desired results. As a result, we know little about how different solutions trigger and drive the achievement of intended outcomes. The literature on policy design is often based on anecdotes and correlations, jumping from proposed solutions to anticipated outcomes without exploring the conditions that are the real determinants of policy results
