马克·古德温在本期杂志上对我2008年的文章进行了评论和批评，这是中肯和建设性的，事实上，我几乎同意所有的评论。古德温指出，我的文章没有适当地解决政策网络中的权力和能力分配问题，因此，我可能倾向于高估这种网络的松散程度，低估国家的正式法律权力在治理过程中的持续重要性。他还建议，我所描述的网络的存在和所做的工作本身不应被视为从政府向网络治理的转变。这些担忧提出了非常恰当和重要的问题，并对经验性政策网络分析构成了重大挑战。然而，我想说的是，我2008年的文章代表了对教育中网络治理的扎实分析的问题和问题的第一次尝试。古德温的答复中提出的许多观点都是我正在参与的一个由ESRC资助的关于慈善和教育政策的项目(RES-062-23-1484)。
Mark Goodwin's commentary on and critique, in this issue, of my 2008 article in this journal is both pertinent and constructive and indeed I agree with almost all of it. Goodwin makes the point that the distribution of power and capabilities within policy networks was not properly addressed in my article and that as a result I may tend to overestimate the looseness of such networks and underestimate the continuing prominence of the formal legal powers of the state in processes of governance. He also suggests that the existence of and work done by the networks I describe should not in themselves be taken to be indicative of a shift from government to network governance. These concerns raise very proper and important questions and pose major challenges for empirical policy network analysis. However, I would want to say that my 2008 article represents a first foray into the issues and problems of a grounded analysis of network governance in education. Many of the points made in Goodwin's reply are ones on which I am engaged in a current ESRC-funded project (RES-062-23-1484) on philanthropy and education policy.
