社会发展出关于集体问题的决策方法，从而创建规范、规则和制度；这就是治理的意义所在。在政策研究中，治理已成为一个重要的关注焦点；但辩论显示，在概念层面缺乏清晰度，将这一概念用于规定目的和分析目的之间存在混淆。本文所依据的假设是，在政策研究中使用明确的、非规范性治理视角有助于更好地理解政治进程，包括正式和未被承认的进程、嵌入较大和较小社会制度的进程以及纵向和横向政治安排。这份文件是在几个网络中与治理概念合作的结果，导致了治理分析框架(GAF)的发展。GAF是一种用于调查治理过程的实用方法，基于五个分析工具：问题、参与者、社会规范、过程和节点。除了描述这五个工具的概念来源和分析目的外，本文还举例说明了GAF如何可操作。
Societies develop ways of making decisions regarding collective problems, thereby creating norms, rules, and institutions; this is what governance is about. In policy research, governance has become an important focus of attention; but debates show a lack of clarity at the conceptual level and a confusion between the use of the concept for prescriptive and analytical purposes. The present article is based on the hypothesis that using a clarified, non-normative governance perspective in policy research can contribute to an improved understanding of political processes, including formal and unrecognised ones, those embedded in larger and smaller social systems, as well as both vertical and horizontal political arrangements. The paper is the result of a collaborative engagement with the concept of governance within several networks, leading to the development of the Governance Analytical Framework (GAF). The GAF is a practical methodology for investigating governance processes, based on five analytical tools: problems, actors, social norms, processes, and nodal points. Besides describing the conceptual sources and analytical purpose of these five tools, the paper presents examples of how the GAF can be operationalised.
