- Abstract
- What is the meaning we ascribe to the expression "reflexive governance", thereby defining the conditions a collective action must fulfil in order to ensure, to the extent possible, that satisfaction of its members' normative expectations is "maximised" ; that is, in order to ensure what is generally called "governance in the public interest" ? The expression "reflexive governance" can only be understood if we first recall the project that has underpinned REFGOV. This project emerged out of an option and an insight. The option related to how to broach the question of "governance of a collective action'. The insigh was that by reconstructing the various current investigations into the theory of governance from the angle of their theoretical assumptions about the theory of collective action, we would arrive at an important theoretical finding.
