dc.description.abstract | This paper discusses two contemporary trends in local
decision-making. Firstly, there seems to be more centralised decisionmaking
today than before in important policy fields such as welfare
policy. Secondly, informal governance processes outside formal
government structures open up for a substantial influence from nonelected
political actors. The paper asserts that there is a connection
between the trends, and argues that the centralisation tendencies in
welfare issues might affect and encourage governance processes in
other local policy arenas. These policy fields are mainly within the socalled
‘developmental policies’ that often facilitate more networking
and partnership activities in ‘grey areas’ between the public, private and
civil sectors in collective problem solving. Accordingly, more attention
should be given to policy fields where governance networks operate,
and the implications for revitalising democratic political participation
should be studied. The paper concludes that the well-established
rationales for local self-government and local democracy need to be
reconsidered by taking into account these new decision-making
structures. | nb_NO |
