“…Importa considerar el contexto en el cual se impulsó la perspectiva de la gobernanza como el eje de las reformas de la educación superior. Una compleja mixtura de ideas generales e intereses específicos se conjugaron para formular una perspectiva de acción pública, que colocó el acento en los principios de la gestión y coordinación sistémica e institucional de las intervenciones gubernamentales en varios campos de políticas (y no sólo los relacionados con la educación universitaria), que modificaron y flexibilizaron las propias estructuras del Estado (Hardiman, 2012;Pierre, 2012). La lenta irrupción de nuevos sistemas de educación superior con flexibilidad, sistemas de créditos, posgrados, sistemas de aseguramiento de la calidad, pasantías, sedes y virtualización fueron marcando nuevas formas de la gobernanza y la gestión institucional (Rama, 2014).…”

Estudiar las relaciones entre gobernanza, políticas públicas y desempeño institucional en el campo de la educación superior, se ha transformado en un gran reto para los investigadores, pero también en una atractiva oportunidad, dada la complejidad que esta triada de conceptos representa. El trabajo tiene como propósito realizar una reflexión de carácter teórico respecto de los alcances conceptuales que tiene la gobernanza universitaria y sus vínculos con las políticas públicas y su correspondiente desempeño, con la finalidad de precisar la terminología y sus alcances más significativos para América Latina. Se trata de una investigación descriptiva, de carácter documental, basada en la exploración de la bibliografía sociológica y politológica contemporánea.

“…The global financial crisis posed tremendous challenges to the state and governance (Lodge & Wegrich, ), and highlighted serious failures of governance in the regulation of financial markets in advanced democracies (Rothstein, ). However, many national governments initiated dramatic and coordinated responses to enforce market stabilization policies (Mügge, ) and subsequently prevented another Great Depression (Hardiman, ). These measures included the implementation of the Troubled Asset Relief Program in the United States, the bailout of giant banks (e.g., Goldman Sachs, Citigroup HSBC, and Royal Bank of Scotland), insurers (e.g., AIG), secondary mortgage agencies (e.g., Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac), and other nonfinancial institutions (e.g., General Motors and Chrysler) in the United States and United Kingdom, as well as restrictions on remuneration in financial services.…”

In this article, we review the dynamic role of state and nonstate actors in governance. We first discuss the main arguments for and against the state being the main actor in governance in recent literature. Then, we review some of the literature about the changing role of state and nonstate actors in response to the 2007–08 global financial crisis from 2011 to 2015. The two themes under examination are, first, more control over financial markets and second, austerity measures. They illustrate different trajectories of governance that go beyond the now well‐established New Public Management paradigm of public sector reforms. Our review shows that no single actor provides the best mode of governance for all circumstances. Instead, governance is hybrid and dynamic. The mode of governance is dependent on the circumstances under which an actor is more capable of interacting with other actors to provide public services.

The welfare state in liberal as well as social democracies ran into natural or contrived crisis of human cupidities and fiscal overload by the end of the 1970s or 1980s. Political liberalism consequently came to be gradually supplanted by neoliberalism as the major economic reform in advanced bourgeois democracies. It was subsequently prescribed and virtually forced upon the states in the capitalist peripheries as well by multilateral agencies of global capitalism such as IMF, World Bank and WTO. The states in the global South, including India, afflicted by neo-feudal rent-seeking by the political and bureaucratic classes, could not stem or resist the neoliberal tide. Moreover, the fall of the Berlin Wall, collapse of the USSR and the end of the Cold War by the late 1980s witnessed the onset of globalisation. One of the important manifestations of these parameter-altering events of global significance in political economy and public administration was the shift of emphasis from government to governance. Government is an esoteric concept, focusing mainly on the internal institutional complex of the state (e.g., horizontal separation of powers among the legislature, executive and judiciary; vertical devolutionary or federal division of powers; relationship between elected or appointed officials, etc.). Governance, on the other hand, is a new concept, focusing additionally on the external networks of the political system interlinking the government, the market and the civil society. Theorists of governance are busy hypothesising a shift in the assumptions underlying the process of governing and postulating the appropriate relationships between states, markets and civil societies. In this context, Hardiman (2012, Chapter 16) focuses on three areas in which redesigning state institutions is discernible: (a) the redrawing of the boundaries of state power and public administration in the context of privatisation, regulation and devolved governance as parts of the new strategy known as new public management (NPM); (b) the trend of delegated governance to institutions autonomous from the government aiming at policy objectivity, technical competence and non-majoritarianism and (c) trend towards issues of autonomous financial and monetary regulation. The dilemma of a proper relationship between autonomy versus accountability in the new network governance seems to have so far received inadequate attention in this emergent scholarly literature. Neoliberalism primarily came to resolve the contradictions of what it pejoratively called 'populist democracy'. In the process, it privileged capitalist accumulation by weakening democratic control of capitalism. It turned oblivious of capitalism's own internal contradictions and self-destructive tendencies highlighted by Marx
