With
this panel we wish to explore both formal and informal mechanisms of
governance used in various areas of the world. In particular, we seek
to understand how development and governance, produced through formal
bodies, are questioned, challenged and renegotiated through informal
mechanisms and institutions at various levels.
We
encourage to debate the issue by using bottom-up and locally nuanced
approaches to governance. Our expectation is that this panel will
foster a dialogue on the way development and governance are imagined
by the formal bodies and happen in practice when mediated by informal
mechanisms, institutions and practices.
In
the end, we expect to move away the monodisciplinary and normative
approach that sees informal institutions and practices as temporary
and mere economic phenomena to be liquidated to provide a wider
understanding of how governance is composed by the formal and the
informal, constantly in competition and complementing one another.
Geographically, we would like to attract
submissions that foster a dialogue about world regions (Africa, Asia,
Latin America but also the post-socialist world).
We
are keen to receive papers somehow related to:
Case
studies of local governance in the Global South
Good
and bad practices of governance and development
How
local communities cooperate with, or resist, development policies
centrally adopted
Alternative
and diverse economies and modes of governance
How

Alternative
and diverse economies and modes of governance
Gender,
labour and governance in informal economy
Ethnicity,
