| Abstract: |
This paper sets forth a comprehensive viewpoint about how Public Governance
should be assessed and worked-out, by making three contributions to the
subject matter. Firstly, it provides the semantics by which this field of
learning and practice may become operational in Political Science. Next, a
four-tiered framework of analysis is laid bare, which deals with architecture,
covenants and safeguards, collective action, and deviant behavior. Afterwards,
and focusing on conflict systems, we give heed to the underlying logic of
Public Governance, which stems from a network built up around the mechanisms
of participation, contest and safeguarding. |
