Governance and Policy in a Multicentric World
Three dimensions of multiple centres of power and their corresponding implications for policy and governance are examined. While there has been a proliferation in the number of actors participating in governance and the policy processes, this development is not entirely a new phenomenon. The state is in constant transformation, adapting to the various challenges it faces. It is wrong to argue that the state is in retreat or that it is not as powerful as it once was. Today, the state has retained a preeminent role in governance and in the policy process. However, instead of providing an extensive social security network, it has taken on new roles, including helping to prepare domestic populations for global trade and social interactions.
