Dynamic views of governance
The above four ways of thinking about governance have emphasized the impact of structures and institutions. The assumption is that if you want to get governance ‘right’ you need to manipulate the structures within which it is presumed to be generated. The alternative assumption is that governance is a dynamic outcome of social and political actors and therefore if changes are demanded then it is those dynamics that should be addressed. This view, like that of the structuralists, provides some insights into governance but also leaves some aspects in doubt.
