Society Economic Actors
GovernanceComposed of
intentional and self-organized public and
private actors and the rules, norms and
structures through which they act
Governance includes laws,
policies, regulation,
institutions, and institutional
structures that both enable and
constrain the process of
government.
Governance includes the informal norms
and interactions that influence decisions including those of
private and nongovernmental
actors.

TOOLS FOR STRIKING THE BALANCE IN LAW
• Inherently evolutionary law
•Rules versus standards
• Elected governance
•Amendment provisions/requirements
•Procedural requirements to pace change
•BUT: There is no single formula!
