Résumé 0

This essay draws on Democratic Governance to provide a genealogy of governance and to explore its implications for democracy. It explains how governance rose and spread as a consequence of new modernist theories and the public sector reforms that were inspired by these theories. It shows how policy actors have responded to the challenges of governance by supplementing representative institutions with yet more modernist expertise. By historicizing modernism – by showing it to be a particular and contestable mode of knowledge – this essay raises the possibility of moving beyond it. It explores the possibility of more direct involvement and control by citizens throughout the formation and implementation of policies and makes the case for more plural and participatory concepts of democracy.
