Objective
This Integrated Project aims to produce a deeper conceptual, empirical and normative understanding of all aspects of governance within, and beyond, Europe, emphasizing the emergence, execution, evaluation and evolution of new and innovative modes of govern ance. Our pan-European and multi-disciplinary research Consortium engages political scientists, economists, lawyers, sociologists, and practitioners to collect data on,and to map and analyze, innovations in the instruments, modes, and systems of governance operating at the multiple levels and arenas of the evolving and enlarging Euro-polity and economy. Of particular interest are the ways in which these innovative mechanisms and practices relate to each other (both horizontally and vertically);how they rela te to 'old methods' of governance;and the implications they hold both for the effectiveness and efficiency of policy making, and for the normative and democratic nature (accountability, participation and citizenship - and thus legitimacy) of the European U nion. In terms of instruments and modes of governance, we investigate new forms of multi-level partnership, deliberation and networks, as well as innovations in systems of socio-economic governance, producing new knowledge on their emergence and developmen t in different policy sectors and arenas;how their implementation and use differ across existing and future Member States; and how they are articulated at the local, regional, national, European, and global levels. Ethical and gender issues are addressed w here relevant. Thus the NEWGOV Consortium contributes to the creation of a European Research Area in the social sciences and humanities by shaping a new European-level research agenda;by integrating previously dispersed researchers within a coherent, pan-E uropean whole; by creating novel training activities and networks between researchers and policy practitioners;and providing for outreach to, and participation by, the wider research community
