Editorial: Governance under transformation—Institutions, digitalization, sustainability, and development

Abstract

We are pleased to present this issue of the Journal of Governance and Regulation. The contributions brought together here demonstrate the continuing expansion of governance research across organizational, technological, environmental, economic, and societal domains. Although the studies differ substantially in research setting, methodology, and level of analysis, a common theme emerges: governance increasingly concerns not simply the existence of rules and institutions, but their capacity to translate principles, resources, technology, and policy into effective and accountable outcomes.
