"The Rise of Interactive Governance and Quasi-Markets" is an academic book that addresses the developments and challenges of interactive governance and quasi-markets. The content is based on contributions presented at a conference in 2000 in Enschede, Netherlands. This conference, sponsored by the Netherlands Institute of Governance, served as a platform for the exchange of ideas and concepts related to a post-parliamentary democracy. The authors have revised and supplemented the original papers to provide a more comprehensive international perspective. The book is a tribute to the late co-editor Oscar van Heffen, whose commitment and vision significantly contributed to the creation of this work. It offers a well-founded analysis and discussion on the role of governance and markets in modern society, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of politics, administration, and economics.
