Seminar Program. 1. Introduction to Networks: Between Market and State Friday 11th January: This seminar will be spent discussing the general framework of the module. Time will be spent getting to know each other, establishing a few ground rules, talking about assessment requirements, discussing the various modes of seminar operation and group work as well as debating in general the themes of the module. 2 Markets are usually conceived as delivering private goods and hierarchies (in the public sector) as delivering public goods. Networks are increasingly viewed as complementary structures for the coordinated delivery of public goods and services x Why do networks emerge? x What are the distinctions between ‘Hierarchies’, ‘Markets’ and ‘Networks’? x What is ‘network governance’?
