La governance delle politiche mediterranee è al centro del Progetto Medgovernance (www.medgov.net) che mette insieme un rilevante partenariato regionale di Italia, Francia e Spagna, col contributo determinante della Rete dei Centri di ricerca (RIM). A tal proposito il Centro Europeo PLURAL, partner del progetto,organizza per il prossimo Luglio a Firenze un Workshop dedicato alla presentazione di proposte progettuali innovative. L’evento, organizzato con il Comune di Firenze, la Regione Toscana e la Fondazione Sistema Toscana, è un’occasione di dibattito e laboratorio progettuale che intende coinvolgere soggetti pubblici, università, centri di ricerca e imprese attraverso un approccio multilivello e partecipativo.
Il coinvolgimento di un partenariato diffuso, bensì lungi dalle ritualità tipiche della concertazione tradizionale è mirato in questa cornice 2010-2013 a proporre modelli concreti ed efficaci di progettualità che accrescano l’impatto e la replicabilità di proposte di eccellenza in ambiti differenziati: Fondi Strutturali, ma anche programmi settoriali di politica interna. Esistono cioè una varietà di strumenti finanziari in un cui è possibile potenziare l’efficacia progettuale attraverso adeguate azioni networking istituzionale che concentrino le risorse su specifiche operazioni di capitalizzazione di esperienze di eccellenza.

A proposito del temi trattati nel vostro blog, vorrei segnalarvi questo estratto dal Rapporto Barca 2009 circa il ruolo della governance multilivello nelle politiche di coesione
RispondiEliminaSubsidiarity of tasks and multilevel governance
The shift from a separation of responsibilities in terms of types of services to one in terms of tasks in their provision can be appreciated by reference to the concept of subsidiarity, the general principle according to which authorities should perform only those activities which cannot be performed effectively at a more local level. In the context of place-based policies, subsidiarity needs to be interpreted with reference to responsibility not for whole sectors, but for whole tasks.
The subsidiarity criterion, therefore, needs to govern the allocation of tasks.
The architecture of policy-making which implements this more modern arrangement has come to be called multi-level governance, a system by which the responsibility for policy design and implementation is distributed between different levels of government and special-purpose local institutions (private associations, joint local authority bodies, cooperation across national borders, public-private partnerships and so on)125. In this architecture, it is up to the top levels of government to set general goals and performance standards and to establish and enforce the “rules of the game”. It is up to the lower levels to have “the freedom to advance the ends as they see fit”. Special-purpose local institutions, comprising both public and private actors with responsibility for delivering specific services, or bundles of services, play a decisive role in eliciting the knowledge and preferences of citizens of specific places;. Since they are formed through the policy process, they often define what a “place” is. In their absence, multi-level governance can degenerate into a system of negotiation between bureaucracies representing different elites, with an authority defined by purely jurisdictional boundaries. EU cohesion policy is where multi-level governance has flourished127, responding both to a strong cultural tradition supporting an active role of local governments and communities and to the awareness of the limits of the Commission in directly managing interventions. In order to assess below how far cohesion policy has lived up to the model that it helped establish, four key aspects can be singled out which together determine how successful multi-level governance is: 1) the allocation of tasks among levels of government and the role of jurisdictional Regions; 2) contracts between levels of governments; 3) decision processes at local level; 4) public debate being focused on objectives, learning and counterfactual impact evaluation.
