Abstract

Yönetişim kavramı, ulus devletin sınırlanın daralmasıyla
başlayan süreçte kullanılmaya başlamıştır. Günümüze gelindiğinde ise
“aynı zamanda her yerde var olan” bir kavram olarak karşımıza
çıkmaktadır ve literatürde belirgin bir sınıflandırma bulunmamaktadır.
Çalışmanın amacı yönetişim kavramı üzerine bir sınıflandırma
yapmaktır. Çalışmada yönetişim kavramı, yönetim düzeyine,
uygulama biçimine ve işlevine göre olmak üzere 3 farklı kategoride
ele alınmıştır. Yönetim düzeyine göre küresel, ulusal ve yerel
yönetişim kavramlarından oluşmaktadır. Bu ayrım, ulusal ya da
federal hükümetlerin, yukarı yönde küresel kuruluşlara aşağı yönde
yerel yönetimlere yetki devrinin sınırlarını göstermektedir. Uygulama
biçimine göre sınıflandırma makro, meso ve mikro yönetişim
kavramlarından oluşmaktadır. Makro yönetişim, politika
uygulamalarına odaklanırken meso ve mikro yönetişim, proje ve plan
bazlı uygulamaları içerir. İşlevine göre sınıflandırma politik,
ekonomik ve kurumsal yönetişim kavramlarından oluşur. Politik
yönetişim, ekonomik kalkınma hedefine ulaşmayı destekler
niteliktedir. Ayrıca bir ülkenin politik ve ekonomik şartları, kurumsal
yönetişim ortamının belirlenmesine katkıda bulunmaktadır.

A CLASSIFICATION ON THE CONCEPT OF GOVERNANCE

Abstract

The governance concept has been come into use within the
period started upon the narrowing of nation-state borders. And when it
comes to the present day, it fronts us as a concept which “exists in
everywhere at the same time” and there isn‟t any significant
classification in the literature. The purpose of the study is to make a
classification on the concept of governance. In the study, the
governance concept is addressed in 3 different categories as according
to dimension of management, form of implementation and function.
Classification according to dimension of management consists of
cultural, national and local governance concepts. This distinction
indicates the limits of authority transfer of the national or federal
governments to global organizations upwards and local governments
downwards. Classification based on form of implementation consists
of macro-, meso- and micro-governance concepts. Macro-governance
focuses on political implementations, whereas meso- and microgovernance are composed of project and plan based implementations.
And classification according to function consists of political,
economic and institutional governance concepts. Political governance
is such as to support achieving the target for economic development.
Moreover, the political and economic conditions of a country
contribute to the determination of institutional governance
environment.
