Aaron aAnarchy as a model for network governance c2012 ap.33-42. aJan - Feb aThis article centers on two interconnected ideas that have garnered increasing attention in public administration: (1) a shift away from centralized institutional authority structures and (2) the concomitant rise of networks in the public sector. While network theories have been viewed as ushering in a new paradigm for understanding governance, they remain rooted in the language and framework of hierarchical bureaucratic systems. The author suggests that embracing an approach not grounded in a centralized institutional perspective may clarify network theories in public administration. Specifically, the author argues that anarchism has much to add to our understanding of networks and illustrates how an anarchistperspective may advance our understanding of networks in three areas-network formation, network stability, and accountability in networks-in which the hierarchical perspective has persistent questions. - Reproduced. aPublic administration aPublic Administration Review aN a96222 c96222d96222 00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 72, Issue no: 1pAR96682r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
