Preferred term

culture governance  

Definition

  • Culture governance refers to a specific, top-down steering mechanism designed to improve elite control over the outputs of highly complex systems, like the modern democratic welfare state. Where once effective governance was a matter of a hierarchical, bureaucratic state exercising control, the demands placed on postindustrial governments require that their constituents perceive themselves as stakeholders to assure the continued functioning of the system.
