Study Notes
Core Principles of Meta-Governance
- Rationality is a core principle, which involves basing governance on verifiable facts, logical choice of instruments, and a defendable strategy.
- Other core principles include responsiveness and performance.
Modes of Fisheries Governance
- There are three main modes of governance: hierarchical, self-governance (market governance), and participatory governance (co-governance).
- In reality, governance often occurs along a continuum of modes, from top-down hierarchical governance to bottom-up self-governing modes.
- Hybrid modes of governance can also exist, where different modes are combined to respond to governability issues.
Hierarchical Governance
- Hierarchical governance is characterized by a top-down structure, with the state or equivalent system as the key role player.
- Interaction between the state and citizens occurs through implementation of policies and laws.
- Steering and control are key concepts in this approach, focusing on solving problems in the fish chain.
Problem Solving in Governance
- Problem identification is subjective, and problems only become objective when recognized by societal actors.
- The localization and formulation of societal problems involve distinguishing them from private problems by their scale and shared nature.
- Attention shifts to the solution space, where risks are assessed and deemed acceptable.
2nd Order Governing (Institutional Arrangements)
- 2nd order governing focuses on the institutional arrangements within which 1st order governing takes place.
- Institutions provide the framework for decision-making and constitute the meeting ground of those being governed and those governing.
- They provide the criteria for measuring success and failure.
3rd Order (Meta-Governance) Governing
- Meta-governance is the core of the governing exercise, introducing structure, order, and predictability into human relations.
- Institutions can be viewed as rules, norms, or cognition, influencing human interactions and expectations.
- A broader governance perspective on institutions is essential, emphasizing their regulatory, normative, and cognitive attributes.
Institutions in Governance
- Institutions are essential for social actors to know how to interact and what to expect of others.
- Institutions are embedded in social networks, which are often institutions themselves.
- The system-to-be-governed is partly natural (ecosystems and resources) and partly social (users and stakeholders).
