"This innovative collection shows that limited statehood, which is pervasive, does not mean an absence of governance. Understanding how this governance is provided is one of the major research and policy challenges of our time. Governance Without A State? opens a path to understanding the variety of ways in which governance occurs, even when the capacity of the state is feeble. An agenda-setting study." - Stephen D. Krasner, Stanford University (Read more reviews)
Challenging common assumptions about sovereign states and the evolution of modern statehood, particularly the dominant paradigms supported by international relations theorists, development agencies, and international organizations, this volume explores strategies for effective and legitimate governance within a framework of weak and ineffective state institutions. Approaching the problem from the perspectives of political science, history, and law, contributors explore the factors that contribute to successful governance under conditions of limited statehood. These include the involvement of nonstate actors and nonhierarchical modes of political influence. Empirical chapters analyze security governance by nonstate actors, the contribution of public-private partnerships to promote the United Nations Millennium Goals, the role of business in environmental governance, and the problems of Western state-building efforts, among other issues. Recognizing these forms of governance as legitimate, the contributors clarify the complexities of a system the developed world must negotiate in the coming century.
