Network Governance and Programme Steering – Rationales and Tensions in Planning Child and Youth Policies
This article examines the underlying rationales and tensions of network governance and programme steering in policy planning processes by closely examining their practical implementation in the national and municipal child and youth welfare planning. It is asserted that a fundamental gap exists not only between the ideals and actual practices of networked planning, but also (despite being seen as forming a natural alliance) between network govern…

Innovation and the Vocabulary of Governance
Innovation has become a crucial part of the vocabulary of contemporary political governance and its conceptual equipment. As innovation has emerged as an ever-more significant political issue, the discourse on innovation has become intertwined with the notion of network. This paper argues that certain ontological elements inherent in this discourse tend to lose their openness when they are defined as policy-oriented concepts, and uses the innovat…
On self-service democracy: Configurations of individualizing governance and self-directed citizenship
This article focuses on a specific political ethos of current developed societies, on what we call 'self-service democracy'. The ethos essentially springs from the technologies, policies, structures and ideas promoting the 'individualization trend' in the provision of services as opposed to the allegedly passivizing system of the classical welfare state of the 1970s and the early 1980s. We review the conceptual history of self-service, its curren…
Self‐service Society: Participative Politics and New Forms of Governance
The purpose of this paper is to identify ‘participative politics' and what is here called ‘self‐service politics' as distinct political themes in many advanced democracies, in order to investigate their main elements and chart their interrelationships. These two themes are examined from the viewpoint of politicization and depoliticization tendencies. Participative politics consists of three main forms, defined as active citizenship, citizen netwo…
Networks and the philosophy of noise
Although in communication the message replaces noise, noise is an integral part of the message itself. The post‐war period is one of an intensified attempt to think of communication and noise together, so that the latter does not appear only as the source of disorder but also as the material part of communication. Noise is thus absolutely necessary for communication. On the other hand, in order to make a shared meaning possible, a remarkable part…
On Communication in the Modern Age: Taylorism and Beyond
It is possible to see “the speaking machine”, as the telephone was often called in the contemporary press, as having formed a speaking machine of the whole society at the end of the nineteenth century. This is because it provided a pattern not only for electric communication in the modern age, but also for the social system viewed as a whole. The telephone can be seen as an intersection of powers in and through which both the modern communication…
On the Ontology of Networks
Society can no longer be thought of as independent of networks because discourses, theories, images, and institutions have transformed and abandoned the metaphor of hierarchy. This paper investigates the space occupied by the network metaphor during the past few decades and how it deals with the demarcation between what is “inside” and what remains “outside.” Examining theorists such as Manuel Castells, Albert-László Barabási, and Michel Callon, …
Foucault, deleuze, and the ontology of networks
The concept of the network has become embedded in social thought and imagery, articulating what at root is inarticulable. The network metaphor occupies an ontological space, but this space, insofar as it is posed as a philosophical question, seems to assume a network-like shape itself. It may be particularly rewarding to read the constellations studied by Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze from this point of view, in light of the analysis of the …
