Stretching Concepts Too Far? Multi-Level Governance, Policy Transfer and the Politics of Scale in South East Europe
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper suggests that the literature on multi-level governance, dominated by Western European and U.S. writers and research settings, suffers from methodological and epistemological limitations. The concept, when refracted through the lens of lived political experiences in South East Europe, appears in serious need of revision and refinement. The paper goes on to argue that both notions of policy transfer and of the complex politics of scale of interventions in time, place and space, need to be added in order to complement the basic multi-level governance concept. Only in this way is it possible to capture something of the complexity of modes of governance in South East Europe.
