Ausgehend von der These, dass in der europäischen Energiewirtschaft ein grundlegender Wandel eingetreten ist, analysiert die vorliegende Arbeit die Strukturen des Zusammenwirkens von staatlichen und nicht staatlichen Akteuren im Energierecht und bewertet diese vor dem Hintergrund des Demokratieprinzips. Das Governance-Konzept, sofern rechtlich eingefangen und hinreichend eng umgrenzt, hilft dabei, jene Strukturen abzubilden, die sich durch den »Wandel von Staatlichkeit« herausgebildet haben – und dies sowohl im Bereich der Rechtsetzung und der Exekutive als auch im Bereich der Rechtsprechung. In allen drei Gewalten wirken die unterschiedlichsten Akteure außerhalb des originären Steuerungs-, Zurechnungs- und Legitimationszusammenhangs. Auch wenn man dabei der aufgezeigten Governance-Perspektive des Bundesverfassungsgerichts folgt und die Entwicklungsoffenheit des Demokratieprinzips anerkennt, so wird doch deutlich, dass die Aufgabe des klassisch-staatlichen Steuerungsanspruchs in allen drei Gewalten zu Problemen in demokratietheoretischer Hinsicht führt. / »Governance Structures in Energy Law« -- The thesis analyses the structures of interrelation between public and private actors in European Energy Law and evaluates their democratic impact. Even if one accepts the described governance perspective in the jurisdiction of Germany's Federal Constitutional Court and the openness to the development of democratic principles, the decreasing influence of public actors in Energy Law leads to legal problems – in all three branches of government (executive, legislative, and judiciary).

What is at stake for how the Internet continues to evolve is the preservation of its integrity as a single network. In practice, its governance is neither centralised nor unitary; it is piecemeal and fragmented, with authoritative decision-making coming from different sources simultaneously: governments, businesses, international organisations, technical and academic experts, and civil society. Historically, the conditions for their interaction were rarely defined beyond basic technical coordination, due at first to the academic freedom granted to the researchers developing the network and, later on, to the sheer impossibility of controlling mushrooming Internet initiatives. Today, the search for global norms and rules for the Internet continues, be it for cybersecurity or artificial intelligence, amid processes fostering the supremacy of national approaches or the vitality of a pluralist environment with various stakeholders represented. This book provides an incisive analysis of the emergence and evolution of global Internet governance, unpacking the complexity of more than 300 governance arrangements, influential debates and political negotiations over four decades. Highly accessible, this book breaks new ground through a wide empirical exploration and a new conceptual approach to governance enactment in global issue domains. A tripartite framework is employed for revealing power dynamics, relying on: a) an extensive database of mechanisms of governance for the Internet at the global and regional level; b) an in-depth analysis of the evolution of actors and priorities over time; and c) a key set of dominant practices observed in the Internet governance communities. It explains continuity and change in Internet-related negotiations, opening up new directions for thinking and acting in this field.

Der Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über den Themenkomplex "wirtschaftspolitische Governance". Dieser Begriff dient in Volkswirtschaftslehre und benachbarten Sozialwissenschaften als Ober-/Sammelbegriff unter dem üblicherweise alle Aktivitäten subsumiert werden, die wirtschaftspolitische Akteure entfalten, um das Wirtschaftssystem, einzelne Märkte darin oder bestimmte Wirtschaftsakteure (z.B. Unternehmen, Konsumenten) zu steuern. Neben einer genaueren Klärung des Governance-Begriffs und der Vorstellung von wirtschaftspolitischen Governance-Instrumenten und -Akteuren wird diskutiert, warum bzw. in welchen Situationen wirtschaftspolitische Governance notwendig ist. Diese Fragestellung ist Gegenstand einer anhaltenden, in Politik, Öffentlichkeit und den Sozialwissenschaften geführten Debatte.

This variable indicates the quality of governancem, and is based on "Government Effectiveness" national level data set by World Bank. According to World Bank, this ind Governance data set contains annual data from 1990 to 2015. The index is country-spesific and thus not gridded. Global gridded data set with a spatial resolution of 5 arc-min, annual data from 1990 to 2015, and scaled from 0 to 1. Based on https://info.worldbank.org/governance/wgi/

This article finds that the innovative practice of involving social workers in settling petition disputes in Shanghai is a kind of "flexible governance" stressing affective care and multi-pronged means of dispute resolution to relieve petition pressures and maintain social stability in the authoritarian state.

There are many critiques of existing forms of urban governance as not fit for purpose. However, what alternatives might look like is equally contested. Coproduction is proposed as a response to address complex wicked issues. Achieving coproduction is a highly complex and daunting task. Bottom up approaches to the initiation of coproduced governance are seen as fruitful, including exemplification of utopian alternatives though local practices. New ways of seeing the role of conflict in participation are needed, including ways to institutionalise agonistic participatory practices. Coproduction in governance drives demands for forms of knowledge production that are themselves coproductive. New urban governing spaces need to be coproduced through participative transformation requiring experimentation and innovation in re-designing urban knowledge architectures. Future research in this field is proposed which is nuanced, grounded in explicit weightings of different democratic values, and which mediates between recognition of contingency and the ability to undertake comparative analysis.

AbstractThis article aims to contribute to the third generation of global governance research by unfolding the concept of a global governance system consisting of normative principles and patterns of authority relationships and legitimation. The goal is to formulate a positive theory that goes beyond the negative descriptions of global governance as post‐internationalist and helps to move global governance beyond its embryonic state. The major theoretical claim is that the features of the current global governance system have endogenously produced the politicization and counter‐institutionalization of international authorities. Internal tensions of the system fuel legitimation problems and demands for change, which in the end lead – in some cases – to the decline of global governance arrangements or – in other cases – to its deepening via appropriate institutional responses.

Der Beitrag verortet die Diskussion um Regionalentwicklung in Großschutzgebieten in der politikwissenschaftlichen Diskussion um Governance und Regional Governance. Ziel des Beitrages ist es aufzuzeigen, dass es drei Hauptgründe gibt, warum Governance eine Rolle für Großschutzgebiete spielt: 1. aufgrund eines veränderten Naturschutzverständnisses, 2. aufgrund einer Bedeutungszunahme von Konzepten naturschutzorientierter Regionalentwicklung und 3. aufgrund der zwangsläufigen Umsetzung von Großschutzgebieten im politischen Mehrebenensystem. Empirisch sollen diese Governance-Aspekte anhand des Bundeswettbewerbes 'idee.natur' illustriert werden. Deutlich werden soll, dass Governance und Regional Governance wichtige Anknüpfungspunkte für Naturschutz und Großschutzgebiete bieten und es solche Konzeptionen mittlerweile tatsächlich in der naturschutzpolitischen Praxis gibt. ; The paper locates the debate on regional development in large-scale protected areas in the political-science discussion on governance and regional governance. The aim is to demonstrate that there are three primary reasons why governance is of relevance for large-scale protected areas: 1. due to a changed understanding of nature protection, 2. due to the increased significance of regional development concepts oriented towards nature protection, and 3. due to the necessity of implementing large-scale protected areas in a multi-level political system. These aspects of governance are empirically illustrated using the example of the federal competition 'idee.natur'. It becomes clear that governance and regional governance are important approaches for nature conservation and large-scale protected areas and that such concepts are already in use in the policy practice of nature protection.
