Preferred term

informal governance  

Definition

  • Many academic observers would argue that we have witnessed a shift from government to governance over the past decenniums, reflected in “softer” and more indirect steering mechanisms. Governance also involves more interaction between public authorities and other social actors. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Political Science; Governance, Informal]
