Foundational Aspects of Polycentric Governance: Overarching Rules, Social-Problem Characteristics, and Heterogeneity

Authors

In this chapter we address what we consider to be foundational aspects shaping emergent polycentric governance. They explain the scalar organization and diversity of governance arrangements as well as its performance. We argue that polycentric governance is founded on particular overarching rules that enable self-organization by those involved in governance of collective goods. Polycentric governance offers diverse ways to address social problems and performance criteria that actors introduce into negotiations over governance. Variability in social-problem characteristics leads to variable governance structures and performance. Heterogeneity of communities provides a further explanation of why people prioritize differing criteria of performance and pursue their aims through a diversity of governance arrangements. The chapter elaborates on the foundational roles of these variables for polycentric governance, and highlights gaps in research on these issues.
