[FRIAM] Program on Networked Governance

[Tom Johnson]

Surely this will be of interest to some on the list (right Merle?)

The Program on Networked
Governance<http://www.ksg.harvard.edu/netgov/html/index.htm>

"The traditional notion of hierarchical, top down, government has always
been an imperfect match for the decentralized governance system of the US.
However, much of what government does requires co-production of policy among
agencies that have no formal authority over each other, fundamentally
undermining the traditional Weberian image of bureaucracy. Networked
governance refers to a growing body of research on the interconnectedness of
essentially sovereign units, which examines how those interconnections
facilitate or inhibit the functioning of the overall system. The objective
of this program is two-fold: (1) to foster research on networked governance
and (2) to provide a forum to discuss the challenges of networked
governance."

To change something, build a new model that makes the
existing model obsolete."
