The power and future role of nation states are a topic of increasing importance. The dispersion of authority both vertically to supranational and subnational institutions and horizontally to non-state actors has challenged the structure and capacity of national governments. Multi-level governance has emerged as an important concept for understanding the dynamic relationships between state and non-state actors within territorially overarching networks.

Multi-level Governance explores definitions and applications of the concept by drawing on contributions from scholars with different concerns within the broad discipline of Political Studies. It contends that new analytical frameworks that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries and epistemological positions are essential for comprehending the changing nature of governance. In this context, this volume undertakes a critical assessment of both the potentialities and the limitations of multi-level governance.

Judges' Citation
'Dr Flinders has focussed on a set of topics of central

relevance to British Government and politics: the

institutions and mechanisms of accountability and

responsibility. In doing so he has addressed an

interesting and important question in a fresh way. He

has combined a strong sense of the historical

evolution of the conventions of British government

since the mid-nineteenth century; shown how the

contemporary practice of British government has

diverged from the assumptions underlying these now

obsolete conventions; and identified multiple

mechanisms that have been invoked in attempts to fill

the gap left by parliamentary non-accountability. Flinders' publications show the ability to use relevant

concepts to clarify and organize information without

losing sight of ambiguities and complexities.'
