As the world tries to recover from a global financial crisis and the trust of citizens in their institutions is lower than ever, the question of effective governance is not merely an academic one. In the face of unavoidable "izations" - statization, constitutionalization, privatization and globalization, which occur consecutively or simultaneously across different contexts, it is pertinent to ask where the locus of authority is, or alternatively, where authority is transferred to, and where the locus of accountability lies. In this world, one thing is certain - the nation-state government is not effective enough to provide for all the needs of a society, and the term governance signals two important developments that have a major impact on law and public policy: 1) government does not have a monopoly on public authority and resources; and 2) contemporary governments govern most effectively in concert with others.
