Self-Governance and Polycentricity: Beyond Markets and States
In the previous sessions, we looked at a number of case studies highlighting how public entrepreneurs provide governance solutions to local collective action dilemmas, working side-by-side with public authorities to make their communities safer and more resilient.
These kinds of community initiatives wouldn’t be possible if ordinary people were not given the opportunity to implement their ideas. In this video, we discuss the importance of creating spheres within which individuals can try out new governance solutions without impediment.
The institutional environment that grants individuals this kind of autonomy is called a polycentric order.
