Workshop on institutional complexity
Agency/ Power
What are sources of power in complex governance?
Whare are nodes of power?
Whare are the spaces for agency
in a complex system?
Power law
How do we measure power/ influence?
Fluid subject-object relations
Governance
Proliferation/ Diversity of actors
Issue-
coupling
Good/ bad issue-coupling
Isolation of issues
Do complex systems
need complex governance?
Coherence
Why are we so hung up
on coherence?
To simplify to manageable pattners
for human understanding
Incompatibility?
How do governance systems
become more complex/
institutionalized?
Does complexity fuel technocracy?
Fragmentation
Is governance/ the world
more complex than before?
