Résumé
Par l’étude des interactions entre les institutions étatiques multiniveaux et l’organisation de la société civile, nous posons les jalons d’une plus grande compréhension de la gouvernance multiniveau. Les autorités locales et celles des échelons supérieurs créent des modèles de participation locale dans la vie politique et civique. Ces institutions évoluent à leur tour en fonction des modèles de pouvoir et d’influence au niveau local. À l’intérieur d’une démocratie bien établie, ces configurations institutionnelles et ces associations s’inscrivent dans une infrastructure interreliée qui dicte les conditions en matière de résolution collective de problèmes, de relations de pouvoir et de participation. Les complémentarités institutionnelles entre les formes d’autorités locales et les types d’organisations civiques viennent renforcer ces systèmes. Ces différences expliquent une grande partie des contrastes transnationaux dans l’élaboration des politiques et les démocraties locales.
Abstract
This paper, by exploring the interplay between multilevel stateinstitutions and the organization of civil society, seeks to lay thegroundwork for a deeper understanding of multilevel governance.Institutions within the local state and at higher levels systematicallyshape patterns of local participation in politics and civic life. Inturn, these institutions evolve in ways that patterns of power andinfluence at the local level help to shape. In settled democracies,these configurations of institutions and associations comprise aninterrelated infrastructure that sets terms for collectiveproblem-solving, power relations and participation. Institutionalcomplementarities between forms of local states and patterns of civicorganization have reinforced these systems. These differences accountfor major cross-national contrasts in policy-making and local democracy.
