  • More about A Relational Approach to Governing Wicked Problems: From Governance Failure to Failure Governance

The book argues for a relational turn in policy making and governance to address wicked problems like climate change, COVID-19, global economic recessions, and refugee crises. It suggests that governance should be seen as a process from a relational point of view and contributes to this discussion by consolidating relational approaches and taking them to a normative/prescriptive level.

The book takes a significant step forward in policy-making and governance by introducing a relational approach. It goes beyond traditional political analysis by incorporating relational thinking into a broader spectrum of issues, including normative and prescriptive ones. The impetus for this shift arises from the growing importance of addressing complex governance challenges such as climate change, pandemics like COVID-19, global economic downturns, and refugee crises. The book advocates for a fundamental reimagining of governance as a relational process, recognizing that the focus should not solely be on the specific tools or resources at our disposal but rather on the broader question of whether governance should be approached as a tool-driven endeavor.

To contribute to this ongoing discussion, the book consolidates and extends relational approaches to governance, taking them to a new level of normativity and prescriptivity. It offers valuable insights and frameworks for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars alike, as they seek to navigate the complex and interconnected challenges of contemporary governance.

In conclusion, the book's relational turn in policy-making and governance is a groundbreaking initiative that holds the potential to transform the way we approach governance challenges. By embracing a relational perspective, we can unlock new avenues for addressing complex problems, fostering collaboration, and promoting sustainable and inclusive outcomes.
