- Abstract
- The initial conception of governance as defined by the World Bank in 1992 and inspired in a normative perspective by the « Washington Consensus » was implying a retreat of the State in a process in which actors of various kinds were invited to provide answers to the efficiency and legitimacy deficit faced by several countries. More recently, in 2010, the adoption by the G 20 of the “Seoul Consensus” indicates a new step in the conception of governance, moving away from the “Washington Consensus” approach. The aim of the present contribution is to analyse the reasons of the shift from one consensus to the other and to clarify more specifically what such an evolution implies for the place of the State in governance. To this end, the present reflection investigates the limits of governance as implemented according to its initial conception and reveals some alterations of the international system, notably the advent of emerging powers, in a context of multiple crisis , in order to underline their consequences on States. These elements lead to reconsider the place of the State in global governance, more specifically at the yardstick of the “Seoul Consensus”.
