New Governance, Old Problems : Explaining the Appeal of Third-Party Tools - Hong Kong : The University of Hong Kong, dec. 2010
The rise in the number and use of third-party tools by governments have led to a new paradigm called "new governance". While this paradigm provides a strong framework for tool management and evaluation, it fails to explain the high use of third-party governance (TGP) by governments. But why do governments often prefer indirect to direct government? It is argued here that the need to legitimise policies. An initial emphasis is on how input and output legitimacy could well be increased by trade unions in Singapore. This represents the first step towards a research agenda to measure the impact of trade unions on governments legitimacy in Singapore, leading to a more wide-ranging exploration of regulatory regimes and the basis for the legitimacy of public actors.
