“…The rationale for meta-governance is neither explicitly mentioned, nor could it be easily inferred from the text, in almost half of the articles (n = 38/79, see Table 1). For the remaining 41 articles in which one or more reasons for meta-governance were identified, these rationales were not the main focus of study, except for Lund (2009). Clearly, little attention is paid in case studies to the why of meta-governance.…”

“…Authority instruments are used most frequently (n = 41/79), followed by informational instruments (n = 35/79) and economic instruments (n = 33/79). Authority instruments covered in the literature range from strict mandates and task descriptions for governance networks (See for example Damgaard and Torfing 2010;Haveri et al 2009;Lund 2009), to broader overall visions including political priorities and guiding core principles (e.g. Hansson 2013;Sehested 2009;Voets, Verhoest, and Molenveld 2015).…”

This study aims to disentangle the concept of meta-governance by systematically reviewing 79 articles. By investigating the who, what, why, and how of metagovernance, this article paints a detailed picture of its empirical manifestation. We conclude that the literature could benefit from better conceptualization and operationalization. From the results, we define meta-governance as 'a practice by (mainly) public authorities that entails the coordination of one or more governance modes by using different instruments, methods, and strategies to overcome governance failures.' Metagovernance therefore goes beyond the unproductive dichotomy in the 'from government to governance' debate.

“…Focusing on the UK context, policy-makers and scholars acknowledged the rise of challenges of effective policy-making as result of the so-called 'third way' and the subsequent devolution of legislative power to regional and metropolitan authorities (Allmendinger & Haughton, 2009;Heley, 2013;Heley & Moles, 2012;Tewdwr-Jones, 2012). In Denmark Lund (2009), demonstrated how metagovernance modes for effective environmental conservation and stakeholder participation were hindered by the pressure of national bodies and of conservation authorities in particular. Outside the EU, interest in metagovernance has also focussed on regional environmental issues.…”

Despite its theorization in the political and policy sciences in the early 1990s, the concept of metagovernance has gained relatively little recognition in tourism studies. Nevertheless, its significance in the political sciences and policy literature, especially as a result of the perceived failure of governance systems following the recent global financial crisis, has only served to reinforce its relevance. Metagovernance addresses some of the perceived failures of traditional governance approaches and associated interventions, and has enabled the understanding of central-state led regimes of shadowed hierarchical authorities and locallevel micropractices of social innovation and self-government. In contrast, tourism studies has tended to restrict study of the political dimension of tourism governance and the role of the state under the traditional parallelism between government and governance. Examination of the how governance is itself governed enables a better understanding of the practices of planning and policy-making affecting tourism and destinations. In particular, the application of concepts of governance are inextricably linked to a given set of value assumptions which predetermine the range of its application A short example of the application of the metagovernance paradigm is provided from the New Zealand context. It is concluded that governance mechanisms are not value-neutral and instead serve to highlight the allocation of power in a destination and the dominance of particular values and interests.

“…Finally, society-centric frames see metagovernance as a way to maintain democratic accountability within governance networks (Sørensen and Torfing 2005). These perspectives are united by the common 205 assertion that metagovernance does not replace governance, but rather is an effort to balance and coordinate it (Lund 2009). …”

“…Metagovernance activities include: the 'steering', rather than implementing, of network processes (Meuleman 2006, Lund 2009); design of institutions; and some authors include value management or discursive framing as a higher order of metagovernance (Sørensen 2006, Kooiman andJentoft 2009).…”

Responsive governance and complex urban settings: Responding to change in an urban policy arena - Brisbane (QLD) Australia and Portland (OR) USA

Despite remarkable progress in planning and management, the development of adaptive governance for urban settings is incomplete; particularly in the context of global change and uncertainty (Birkmann et al. 2010, Wilkinson 2012. Urban settings are characterised by complex institutions and power relations that tend to resist rather than adjust to change. Established interests are often prioritised; emergent 'non-core' interests can remain marginal, and can lose capacity during critical change (Jänicke 1997). Given this situation, how does the governance of a 'non-core' policy arena adjust to change over time? The research concludes that rather than seeing resilient policy arenas as requiring the 'governance of adaptation' through particular normative forums, structures or principles, it is more useful to focus on and potentially steer the supporting factors that underpin diverse inter-actor responses to change across a policy arena. This iii 'governance and adaptation' view recognises that in urban settings, actors and their agency are embedded within multiple structures. Many of these structures cannot be adapted, but critically, some realign as an adjustment to change and this potentially supports adaptation. Metagovernance is found to be critical, although in general it is partially decentred amongst a set of key actors. A 'governance and adaptation' framework builds a policy arena-wide explanation from empirical settings. The findings have significant implications for efforts to enhance responsive governance in urban settings and to better strengthen its resilience to future uncertainties.iv
