I will also use the chapter as an opportunity to discuss and develop the concept of heterarchy.

In doing this I want to move beyond the more abstract accounts of new forms of governance—although Mok’s account is certainly not entirely abstract—to indicate some of the messy realities of “network governance.” I also want to reiterate and reinforce Jessop’s point that the “methods” and relations of heterarchy do not totally displace other forms of policy formation and policy action but rather take their place in “the judicious mixing of market, hierarchy, and networks to achieve the best possible outcomes”(Jessop 2002, 242). This mixing is evident in a number of ways and at a number of levels. The result is impurity and leakages of various sorts between capital, the state, and in the examples here, academe.I also want, by giving some examples, to use the concept of hybridity in a number of different ways—to refer to state strategies, to a new iteration of “public sector organizations,” to relationships between the public and the private sector, and to new public service values.
