Governance Networks in the Public Sector presents a comprehensive study of governance networks and the management of complexities in network settings. Public, private, and non‑profit organisations are increasingly faced with complex, wicked problems when making decisions, developing policies, or delivering services in the public sector. These activities take place in networks of interdependent actors guided by diverging and sometimes conflicting perceptions and strategies. As a result, these networks are dominated by cognitive, strategic, and institutional complexities. Dealing with these complexities requires sophisticated forms of coordination: network management. This book provides a conceptual framework and analytical tools to study the complexities involved in handling wicked problems in governance networks in the public sector. This book also discusses strategies and management recommendations for government, business, and third sector organisations operating in and governing networks. This second edition of the book is a truly revised edition, incorporating recent developments in network governance theory and practice, such as the influences of traditional and social media on network governance processes. This volume is an essential text for advanced students of public management, public administration, public policy, and political science, and for public managers and policymakers.
