Abstract

Traditional European governance models, created essentially to safeguard the prerogatives of nation-states, are unable to counter global networks because they are limited, on the one hand, to forming supranational institutions (to offset the influence of global networks) and, on the other, to decentralizing administrative power at the local level (to re-affirm their legitimacy in the system). Moreover, numerous exogenous factors (not effectively controllable at the local level and exceeding European boundaries because an expression of a wider globalisation process) compel individual nation-states to adopt a global, more integrated vision and a common Public Governance system.

Highlights

  • Globalisation generates new social and economic complexities that induce nation-states – under conditions of increasingly open and more permeable communication – to compare their different growth potentials and to adopt different policies based on their specific cultural, socio-economic, educational, and welfare aspects

  • Globalisation underscores the importance of creating a supranational Public Governance system to govern relations among the public bodies of different nations, the principal aim being to abandon a strictly local institutional scenario characterised by excessive bureaucracy and an overabundance of checks and formal authorisations: in short, a model whose hierarchy emphasises and enforces the power of local authorities

  • The White Paper stresses the importance of Participation, stating that the quality, relevance, and effectiveness of EU policies depend on ensuring wide participation by the people and their trust in the institutions dictating the policies

Summary

Globalisation generates new social and economic complexities that induce nation-states – under conditions of increasingly open and more permeable communication – to compare their different growth potentials and to adopt different policies based on their specific cultural, socio-economic, educational, and welfare aspects. Globalisation underscores the importance of creating a supranational Public Governance system to govern relations among the public bodies of different nations, the principal aim being to abandon a strictly local institutional scenario characterised by excessive bureaucracy and an overabundance of checks and formal authorisations: in short, a model whose hierarchy emphasises and enforces the power of local authorities Overcoming this traditional governance model calls attention to the importance of the inter-institutional relations of each public body within strategies and policies that tackle shared problems by integrating and exchanging knowledge among public institutions.
