Governing in the shadows - 2011 - p.1-16. - Jun

Governance is often conceptualised as involving delegation to actors outside the state, but we have long understood that these actors function within a "shadow of hierarchy".

These multiple shadows present an opportunity for would-be governors to select patterns of governing. - Reproduced.
