商品描述

What do public administrators and policy analysts have in common? Their work is undertaken within networks formed when different organizations align to accomplish some kind of policy function. To be effective, they must find ways to navigate complexity and generate effective results. Governance Networks in Public Administration and Public Policy describes a variety of trends and movements that have contributed to the complexity of these systems and the challenges that must be faced as a result.

Providing a theoretical and empirical foundation in governance networks, the book offers a conceptual framework for describing governance networks and provides a holistic way to conceive their construction. The text details the skills and functions of public administrators in the context of networked relationships and presents the theoretical foundations to analyze governance networks. It identifies the reforms and trends in governing that led to governance networks, explains the roles that various actors take on through networked relationships, highlights the challenges involved in the failure of networked activities, and illustrates how policy tools are mobilized by these relationships.

Be a part of building governance networks 2.0!

The author’s website contains support materials such as PowerPoint® presentations, writable case study templates, and other useful items related to building the field’s capacity to describe, evaluate, and design governance networks using the framework of this book. You can post case studies of governance networks, draw on other’s case study materials, and learn about research and educational opportunities.

Based on research and real-life experience, the book highlights the interplay between public actors and policy tools. The authors demystify this complex topic of governance networks and explore the practical applications of the conceptual framework. Practical and accessible, the book presents concepts in such a way that readers can engage in these ideas, apply them, and deepen their understanding of the dynamics unfolding around them.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

公共行政人員和政策分析師有什麼共同之處?他們的工作是在不同組織之間形成的網絡中進行的,這些組織聯合起來完成某種政策功能。為了有效,他們必須找到應對複雜性並產生有效結果的方法。《公共行政和公共政策中的治理網絡》描述了多種趨勢和運動,這些趨勢和運動增加了這些系統的複雜性,並由此帶來了挑戰。

本書提供了治理網絡的理論和實證基礎,提供了描述治理網絡的概念框架,並提供了一種整體的方式來構思它們的建構。本文詳細介紹了公共行政人員在網絡關係背景下的技能和職能,並提出了分析治理網絡的理論基礎。它確定了導致治理網絡的治理改革和趨勢,解釋了各種行為者在網絡關係中扮演的角色,突出了網絡活動失敗所涉及的挑戰,並說明了這些關係如何動員政策工具。

成為建立治理網絡2.0的一部分!

作者的網站提供支持材料,如PowerPoint®演示文稿、可寫的案例研究模板和其他與使用本書框架描述、評估和設計治理網絡相關的有用資料。您可以發布治理網絡的案例研究,借鑒他人的案例研究材料,並了解研究和教育機會。

基於研究和實際經驗,本書突出了公共行為者和政策工具之間的相互作用。作者們揭示了治理網絡這一複雜主題的奧秘,並探索了概念框架的實際應用。本書實用且易於理解,以讓讀者能夠參與這些想法、應用它們並加深對其周圍動態的理解。
