It explores the way cooperative networks of state, market and society are taking over roles that were earlier confined to the state alone. This transformation leads to many challenges. Existing institutions of governance have to be so strengthened that they are able to face new demands. New institutions have to be forged that can fulfil the functions of coordination, control and regulation. The text presents a brief survey of this movement from government to governance and attempts to unravel a complex web of institutions that have emerged since governance became an important element of the policy discourse
