520			_aThis article addresses the designation and study of state agencies as an important component of a modern governance. It recognises that the recent interest in agencies has not been accompanied by any agreement on what actually constitutes an agency. In response, it distinguishes several types of organisations as possible candidates for agency status and thereafter classified different applications of agencies in terms of these types.
