Abstract

New modes of governance have traveled South and East in Europe. Candidate countries in Southern, Central and Eastern Europe have made use of nonhierarchical forms of policy making to cope with the challenge of accession. However, nonstate actors have played a far less prominent role in the implementation of the acquis than the literature would lead us to expect. We have only found weak and scattered forms of new modes of governance, which operate under a strong shadow of hierarchy. Paradoxically, it is precisely the lack of governance capacities that has impaired the emergence of more inclusive and cooperative relations between state and nonstate actors.
