ABSTRACT
In this context, where no institution appears able to control the
others, power is pulverized among amultitude of subjects (the State,
non-state actors, private actors, both profit and non-profit entities)
giving rise to phenomena of the progressive de-personalization of
forms of governing, a blurring between public and private sectors,
and the building of self-organizing networks (Stoke, 1998). Here
governing and government are conceptually separated and tend to
have a per se existence in the theoretical framework. In particular,
the concept of governance seems even more capable of interpreting
the novelties of this paradigm change in political theory.
