Governance: public governance to social innovation?
本文梳理了治理与公共治理的概念,探讨社会创新是否是一种有助于善治的新治理模式,还是新自由主义国家改革的延续,改变了国家、市场与公民社会的关系。
This paper reviews governance and public governance related to an emerging area of policy interest – social innovation. The European Commission’s White Paper on European Governance (2001) focused on openness, participation, accountability, effectiveness and coherence in public policy as characteristics of good governance. The EC has prioritised social innovation to address policy problems. Yet, the extant literature and research on social innovation is sparse. The paper questions whether it is a new mode of governance which contributes to good governance or a continuum of neoliberal reforms of the state which alters the relationship between the state, market and civil society.
