three forms of network governance

Door nieuwe informatie technologie vind er een compressie tussen space and time. Interactie is instant en niet bound to a place

Networks as a governance problem

Het probleem hier is dat een overheid wel gebonden is aan tijd en plaats en hierdoor word eigelijk het reguleren van haar bevolking moeilijker

Form explotation to exclusion

  • included is what contributes to network functionality
  • without contribution, no inclusion

Hoe is networks een probleem voor governance

  1. therefore they create exclusion between participants and others
  1. while re-grouping, they may distance themselves from regulation - networks create new problems (1) and they complicate the response (2)

the most important isssue

participant governed: depend on involvement of all members; decentralised collective self-governance (word ook wel Shared governance genoemd

lead organisation-governed: depends on involvement of lead member; centralised governance

network administrative organisation: network facilitation

een lage need for netwerk level competies

Een moderate need for network level competencies

Een hoge nood voor network level competencies

‘the greater the inconsistency between critical contingency factors and a particular governance form [...], the less likely that that particular form will be effective’

Network governacnce

if there is trust & goal consensus, then shared governance is possible but also: if there is low trust/consensus, then not

if low trust & goal consensus, then lead governance is required but also: only if there is an organisation able to take the lead, then lead governance may be established; if not, then not

nao is especially suitable, if network level competencies are required (e.g. joint administration)but also: if consensus on this limited issue, then such limited cooperation (i.e. the network competencies) is possible; if not, then not
