这是五部雄心勃勃的著作中的第一部，将中央政府上下的治理结构理论化。这本书是为那些对国家内部治理的性质、原因和后果感兴趣的人以及认真对待测量的社会科学家而写的。这本书对北美、欧洲、拉丁美洲、亚洲和太平洋地区从1950年到2010年的81个国家的地区权威进行了衡量。地方权力由个别地区行使，这是第一次以个别地区为分析单位。在透明度是衡量的基本美德的前提下，作者在读者面前展示了他们的理论、概念和评分决策的新路径。该书还为学者和学生提供了81个国家的区域治理摘要。《治理变革》是牛津大学出版社出版的一系列重要学术著作。它旨在适应比较政治、国际关系、公共政策、联邦制、环境和城市研究方面令人印象深刻的增长，这些研究涉及从中央国家到超国家机构、到地方政府的权力分散，以及公私网络的侧面。它汇集了一些工作，这些工作显著地促进了我们对多层次和复杂治理的组织、原因和结果的理解。该系列是有选择性的，每年包含少量由领先和新兴学者撰写的高质量书籍。该丛书以单作者或合作作者为主，但在学科专业化、研究设计、研究方法、地域范围等方面具有多元性。案例研究以及比较研究，历史研究以及当代研究，以及国家，地区或国际重点研究都是其目标的核心。作者使用定性、定量、形式化建模或混合方法。这些书的一个标志是它们将严谨的学术与可读的散文和吸引人的制作风格结合在一起。该系列由北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校和阿姆斯特丹自由大学的Liesbet Hooghe和Gary Marks以及牛津大学的Walter Mattli编辑。
This is the first of five ambitious volumes theorizing the structure of governance above and below the central state. This book is written for those interested in the character, causes, and consequences of governance within the state and for social scientists who take measurement seriously. The book sets out a measure of regional authority for 81 countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific from 1950 to 2010. Subnational authority is exercised by individual regions, and this measure is the first that takes individual regions as the unit of analysis. On the premise that transparency is a fundamental virtue in measurement, the authors chart a new path in laying out their theoretical, conceptual, and scoring decisions before the reader. The book also provides summaries of regional governance in 81 countries for scholars and students alike. Transformations in Governance is a major new academic book series from Oxford University Press. It is designed to accommodate the impressive growth of research in comparative politics, international relations, public policy, federalism, environmental and urban studies concerned with the dispersion of authority from central states up to supranational institutions, down to subnational governments, and side-ways to public-private networks. It brings together work that significantly advances our understanding of the organization, causes, and consequences of multilevel and complex governance. The series is selective, containing annually a small number of books of exceptionally high quality by leading and emerging scholars. The series targets mainly single-authored or co-authored work, but it is pluralistic in terms of disciplinary specialization, research design, method, and geographical scope. Case studies as well as comparative studies, historical as well as contemporary studies, and studies with a national, regional, or international focus are all central to its aims. Authors use qualitative, quantitative, formal modeling, or mixed methods. A trade mark of the books is that they combine scholarly rigour with readable prose and an attractive production style. The series is edited by Liesbet Hooghe and Gary Marks of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the VU Amsterdam, and Walter Mattli of the University of Oxford.
