Governance sometimes refers to coordination of a sector of the economy or of industry (Hollingsworth et al., 1994), and sometimes to the process through which a government seeks to proactively ‘steer’ the economy (Gamble, 2000). In either of these manifestations, governance is still being considered in a dynamic manner, seeking to understand how actors, public and private, control economic activities and produce desired outcomes. Both views see government as having a central role in producing economic outcomes and as helping to manage the tensions of modern economies in the global environment.
