“治理”一词很流行，但并不精确。它至少有六种用途，分别是：最小状态；公司治理；新公共管理； “善治”；社会控制系统；和自组织网络。我规定治理是指“自组织、跨组织网络”，并认为这些网络补充了市场和等级制度，作为权威分配资源、实施控制和协调的治理结构。我捍卫这个定义，认为它为英国政府最近的变化提供了新的视角，最引人注目的是：国家空心化、新的公共管理和政府间管理。我的结论是，网络现在已成为英国服务提供的普遍特征；这些网络的特点是信任和相互调整，破坏了植根于竞争的管理改革：它们对治理能力构成挑战，因为它们变得自治并抵制中央指导。
The term 'governance' is popular but imprecise. It has at least six uses, referring to: the minimal state; corporate governance; the new public management; 'good governance'; socio-cybernetic systems; and self-organizing networks. I stipulate that governance refers to 'self-organizing, interorganizational networks' and argue these networks complement markets and hierarchies as governing structures for authoritatively allocating resources and exercising control and co-ordination. I defend this definition, arguing that it throws new light on recent changes in British government, most notably: hollowing out the state, the new public management, and intergovernmental manage-ment. I conclude that networks are now a pervasive feature of service delivery in Britain; that such networks are characterized by trust and mutual adjustment and undermine management reforms rooted in competition: and that they are a challenge to governability because they become autonomous and resist central guidance.
