Regieren in Räumen begrenzter Staatlichkeit: "Zur Reisefähigkeit" des Governance-Konzeptes
Working Paper 5
Thomas Risse , - 2007
The fact that the respective social science concepts have been formulated against the background of governance in modern and highly industrialized democratic nation-states of the OECD world constitutes a major problem of the discourse on governance. This leads to conceptual problems with regard to the applicability to historical and contemporary areas of limited statehood. These areas are mostly located outside the OECD world and differ structurally from modern Western nation-states with regard to cultural and religious aspects as well as concerning configurations of actors and modes of action. The paper discusses the extent to which the governance concept can “travel” in different world regions and cultural contexts. To what extent are Western concepts transferable, and which problems arise? And what can we learn for the debate on governance in the social sciences from the experiences in areas of limited statehood?
