Public administration, where the notion of Failure Governance supports dealing with The dissertation further introduces the usefulness of this marriage to the discipline of Relational sociology by clearly linking wicked problems with processual relationalismĪnd introducing methodological lessons from International Relations to the discipline. This way, the dissertation advances the ontological and methodological debate of The Climate Crisis, and the thesis maps out how Failure Governance would engage Usefulness of this mode of governance is assessed by analysing the failures to govern Views failure as the only likely outcome and recommends moving governance as anĪctivity that deploys certain tools to solve problems to a place where the ethos ofįailure-Governance manages the continuous engagement with wicked problems. Processual-relational ontological assumptions is introduced. Instead, a trans-active type of governance based on Is that self-active and inter-active modes of governance – which are most prevalent Problems, its ability to govern wicked problems is explored.

Here, the frames are neither considered structures nor entitiesīut continuously unfolding patterns of practices (trans-actions). Prominently, it features the use of a cognitive frames-based methodology to study Possible methodological approaches that derive from processual relationalism. From there, the dissertation moves on to explore In thatĬontext, the processual-relational research question, ‘What makes the CoronavirusĬrisis wicked?” is sketched out. Unit of analysis instead of the more intuitive emphasis on elements or entities. Need to focus on a constitutive type of inquiry to enable the production of useful resultsĪnd, perhaps more importantly, requires the researcher to choose trans-actions as the In interdependent and highly complex situations. Processual-relationalist perspective are considered as ‘un-owned processes’ embedded World seems to be particularly well-suited to study wicked problems which from a It further views relations as continuously unfolding processes.

Of most current approaches to study and govern wicked problems adequately. Relational sociology, public administration, and international relations and developsĪn approach to study and govern wicked problems. This interdisciplinary and thoroughly theoretical dissertation takes lessons from By bringing out this distinction between causation and constitution (and their interconnection) and articulating the methodological consequences of causal and constitutive theorizing/explanation, it is clarified in a concise vocabulary the core of deep relational or trans-actional version of relational sociology (promoted among others by Emirbayer, Dépelteau and the author of the current chapter). It is argued that the major difference between these understandings is not in their emphasis on the centrality of social relations in making sense of social phenomena but in their implicit understanding of the form of those relations: inter-actionalism sees the form of social relations to be causal in nature, whereas trans-actionalism sees them in terms of constitution. The chapter outlines two major understandings of the social, which are referred to as “inter-actionalism” and “trans-actionalism” with reference to Dewey and Bentley’s distinction between three understandings of social action (self-action, inter-action, trans-action).
