Resource description:

In society many actors and structures are at play and interact in myriad ways. The term governance goes beyond traditional forms of political steering (i.e. regulation, public management and hierarchical state activity). Governance emphasizes novel instruments (such as voluntary and market-based approaches) and cooperative structures between state and non-state actors from various sectors of society, implying self-regulation and cooperation among different types of actors and coalitions.
