| Abstract | This book provides a conceptual and methodological approach for researchers evaluating governance and policy in the face of complexity and demonstrates the application of this approach across different governance and policy contexts. This approach fills a significant gap in the literature on governance, where very little research attempts to develop a direct, systematic approach to evaluating governance processes and their outcomes in addressing complex policy challenges. The book proposes a theoretical focus on coordination as enabling assessment of multi-tier, cross-sector governance institutions and policy and introduces a range of applications for the proposed approach, including two case studies of governance and policy for the built environment and health services. The book introduces, analyses and draws from a range of perspectives in political economy, political science, policy analysis and evaluation. A distinctive feature of the book is to engage with longstanding debates in political economy about states and markets which are largely overlooked by political science analyses of coordination challenges in governance. |
