2 The term “new governance” first appeared in a 1996 article; see RAW Rhodes, “The New Governance: Governing without Government” (1996) 44:4 Political Studies 652. The scholarship argues for a flexible, collaborative, and experimental approach, which combines both public and private regulation, as well as voluntary and mandatory mechanisms, to the regulation of corporate behaviour.
