define meta-governance as “governance or (self-) governance”, which includes institutional design and network framing, and the process management and direct participation Marsh and Rhodes (1992) and Kickert et al. (1997), building on the work of Hanf and Scharpf (1978), use governance as a way to explore the workings of policy communities and networks. Kooiman (2003) argues for “social-political governance” as an overarching theory of institutional relationships within society. Kickert et al. (1997) and Rhodes (1996) defines governance as the machinery of “self-organizing inter-organizational networks” that function both within and outside government to provide public services Rhodes (1996) defines governance as “self-organizing inter-­ organizational networks” and suggests that governments should enable networks like Public--Private Partnerships (PPPs).

Governance is a broader term that covers all aspects of the society: economic, corporate, public, etc. This research focuses on the issue of governance in the public sector. In modern times, there are a multitude of actors who have an impact on policy. These actors can be local, national, or international in nature. So, the traditional reliance on the agencies and the bureaucrats may no longer be adequate in terms of executing the policies. Therefore, governance is a better terminology to understand the nature of the present-day administration. Frederickson (2002) asserts that governance is a way to reposition public administration as a pre-eminent discipline based on the new global realities. The basic task of public administration, therefore,
