Conceptual foundations of governance – a critical review
Journal Title: Zarządzanie Publiczne/Public Governance - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
This article presents the sources, nature and areas of criticism of governance. We will critically reflect on both its theoretical-normative and its pragmatic dimension. The conclusions we will arrive at will serve to highlight the main issues around which the study of the deficits of governance is focused. Finally, we will see four hypothetical scenarios for the evolution of the public governance paradigm emerge on the basis of the critical ref lection and the resulting conclusions.
