Living labs from a governance perspective
Current governance systems are increasingly confronted with environmental challenges that exceed their capacities. To tackle this deficit, one of the recently developed alternative governance arrangements is the living lab. In living labs, experiments with innovations are conducted in cocreation with actors. These innovations can be in the form of products, or innovative instruments and strategies with regard to the governance system in which the…
Unpacking Openness
Over the past decade, open government has promised increased government accessibility, responsiveness, and accountability. However, the diverse frames that societal actors hold on open government are often overlooked, even though understanding these frames is crucial, as open government principles may not always align with the practical expectations of its stakeholders. This gap is particularly evident in executive government agencies, where the …
Multilevel governance in times of Covid-19 pandemic. Patterns of legitimacy and governance capacity
Value-sensitive design under ground? Exploring the community-based monitoring of a geothermal project in the Netherlands
The transition towards a carbon-free energy system necessitates societal changes, next to technological and economic transformations. For geo-energy projects, these societal changes relate to difficulties in achieving local support for subsurface initiatives. Societal acceptance of geo-energy projects entails more than a one-way perspective in which project initiators and experts try to convince society. To increase societal acceptance, an approa…
Unleashing or domesticating the vitality of citizens' initiatives? The paradoxical relationship between governments and citizens' initiatives in the energy transition
A Framework for Governance Capacity
In the network society, the capacity to deal with societal issues is spread among interacting actors in governance networks. Knowledge about this capacity, often called “governance capacity,” is still fragmented and quite incoherent. The aim of this study is therefore to gain an integrated understanding of governance capacity. To do this, we conducted a literature review and organized focus groups. This resulted in the selection of five elements …
The Social Production of Invited Spaces
The rise of citizens’ initiatives is changing the relation between governments and citizens. This paper contributes to the discussion of how governments can productively relate to these self-organizing citizens. The study analyzes the relation between the social production of invited spaces and the invitational character of such spaces, as perceived by governments and citizens. Invited spaces are the (institutional, legal, organizational, politic…
Integrated Public Value Creation through Community Initiatives—Evidence from Dutch Water Management
Governments are increasingly challenged by self-organizing community initiatives that seek to contribute to or even take the lead in public value creation. The reason for citizen-led instead of government-led public value creation is part of two larger governance trends. The first is the increased specialized, mission-oriented approach to large social challenges by government agencies. The second trend is the increased emphasis on accountability,…
