The thoroughly revised and updated Handbook on Theories of Governance brings together leading scholars in the field to summarise and assess the diversity of governance theories. The Handbook advances a deeper theoretical understanding of governance processes, illuminating the interdisciplinary foundations of the field.Chapters review key concepts and ideas that form the backbone of modern governance studies, offering vital insights into how this contributes to the development of social science research. The comprehensively updated second edition provides new insights on governance in the contemporary political landscape of global authoritarian populism, emergent progressive movements and the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. Delivering a foundational conceptual toolkit for research, this Handbook reveals the diversity of contemporary governing practices as changing political dynamics lay the groundwork for the next generation of theories of governance.Sketching a comprehensive map for governance research, this Handbook is a crucial resource for scholars and researchers of governance, as well as those in political science, public policy and public management in need of a solid understanding of core governance theories.

Review

'Pity the poor doctoral student who propose to tackle theories of governance. Confronted by many competing theories from multiple disciplines, which way to turn? Once hapless, now help is to hand. Ansell and Torfing provide an authoritative, comprehensive source. They cannot reconcile all the theoretical and disciplinary differences, but they can and do provide a systematic overview of the field. All can now reflect upon this current blessing not their previous misfortune.' -- Roderick Rhodes, University of Southampton, UK
