“…This is so because in such multilevel government and governance contexts (Hooghe & Marks, 2003), different levels of government are likely to have some common, but also different goals and instrument preferences (Enderlein, Wälti, & Zürn, 2011). These mixes have rarely been studied from a policy integration perspective and the two cases studies presented below illustrate the kinds of mechanisms which have been used, both successfully and unsuccessfully, in two of these efforts.…”

Multifaceted problems such as sustainable development typically involve complex arrangements of institutions and instruments and the subject of how best to design and operate such 'mixes', 'bundles' or 'portfolios' of policy tools is an ongoing issue in this area. One aspect of this question is that some mixes are more difficult to design and operate than others. The paper argues that, ceteris paribus, complex policy-making faces substantial risks of failure when horizontal or vertical dimensions of policy-making are not well integrated. The paper outlines a model of policy mix types which highlights the design problems associated with more complex arrangements and presents two case studies of similarly structured mixes in the areas of marine parks in Australia and coastal zone management in Europe-one a failure and the other a successful case of integration-to illustrate how such mixes can be better designed and managed more effectively.

“…Kohler-Koch and Larat (2009) have explored the diversity of research traditions in Europe and how MLG had been used in national research. Enderlein, Wälti and Zürn's (2010) 31-chapter edited 'handbook' has examined MLG from domestic and EU perspectives, but also regarding comparative regionalism and global governance. Bache and Andreou (2011) have uncovered nascent and emerging patterns of MLG across South-East Europe.…”

In two decades since the Maastricht Treaty, multi-level governance (MLG) has developed as a conceptual framework for profiling the 'arrangement' of policy-making activity performed within and across politico-administrative institutions located at different territorial levels. This contribution examines the ways in which the MLG literature has been employed, effectively taking stock of applied research to date. It identifies five main uses of MLG and the different focus of emerging research over time. Considering the most recent scholarship, the contribution explores possible new directions for research, in light of global governance, culminating in a 'bird's eye view' of MLG over 20 years.

“…Ideas of cosmopolitan democracy thereby address social geography beyond country containers and collective identities beyond nations (Fraser, 2009;Habermas, 2001;Linklater, 1998). These conceptions also acknowledge regulatory processes beyond states, for example, with notions of 'multi-level governance ' (Bache and Flinders, 2004;Enderlein et al, 2010) and aspirations for world government (Cabrera, 2010b;Craig, 2008;Tännsjö, 2008).…”

“…Again, the holistic and relational term is invoked rather than 'multi-level', with its connotations of separate and hierarchically arranged tiers (Bache and Flinders, 2004;Enderlein et al, 2010). Public policy is today generally handled through networks that interconnect agencies with respective global, macroregional, national, micro-regional and local jurisdictions and constituencies.…”

How can democracy be suitably formulated in face of the more global character of contemporary society? Modern ideas and practices of 'people's rule' (whether in a statist or a cosmopolitan mode) fall short as frameworks for global democracy. Statist approaches to global democracy have a host of behavioural, institutional, historical and cultural problems. Modern cosmopolitan approaches do better in addressing contemporary social changes, but are deficient in terms of their globalist tendencies, often oversimplified notions of political identity, limited cultural reflexivity, usually tame responses to resource inequalities and anthropocentrism. To address these shortcomings one might explore an alternative of 'postmodern global democracies' built around principles of transscalarity, plural solidarities, transculturality, egalitarian distribution and more ecologically framed ideas of political rights and duties.
