چکیده
1. Governance theory: the approach The relevance of governance theory to the topic of this workshop rests on the obvious fact that sustainable development does not evolve spontaneously, but needs deliberate guidance. However, we do not have at our disposal a single and fully elaborated theory of governance. The term “governance theory” designates a dynamic field of research characterized by a succession of different theoretical paradigms. If governance theory is to be applied to the topic “transition to sustainable development”, it is therefore necessary to spell out the paradigm that is to be used. In what follows I shall sketch the development of governance theory, outline an analytical frame, and try to apply it to the subject of this workshop, pointing out what governance can teach us about the way toward sustainable development.

More recently interest turned to governance beyond the nation-state. The legitimacy of transnational (i.e., European and international) organizations, ...
