New modes of governance cover a wide range of different policy processes such as the open method of co-ordination, voluntary accords, standard setting, regulatory networks, regulatory agencies, regulation ‘through information’, bench-marking, peer review, mimicking, policy competition, and informal agreements, as well as new modes of governance and forms of policy experimentation in different economic sectors, where a new mix of public and private goods is sought. Policy areas in which the new modes of governance are applied include, for example, macro-economic management, economic reform and innovation, research and development, employment, social inclusion, public service provision, and sustainable development; migration, criminal prosecution, utility and service regulation, taxation, training and education and others. The present report focuses only on partnerships between public and non public actors set up at sub-national level to administer socio-economic policies. More specifically it has addressed two particularly relevant mode of concertation: the Territorial Pacts (in the Torino area) and the Local Development Agencies (in the Milan area). It has explored the following key aspects of the ‘deepening’ of partnership-based governance to the administrative stage of socio-economic policies: - the emergence and institutionalisation of ‘administrative partnerships’ and their relationship with the emergence and dynamics of concertative arrangements at the national and or local levels; - the aims and logic of action of administrative partnerships, their actual clout in the administrative processes and their score in terms of institutional capabilities (e.g. the capacity to tailor policies to changing national or local conditions; actual implementation capacities; learning and monitoring capacities); - the degree of (formal and informal) involvement of non-public actors in such partnerships, and the feedback of participation in administrative partnerships on the organisational structures of these actors (with special reference to the social partners).

Abstract
New modes of governance cover a wide range of different policy processes such as the open method of co-ordination, voluntary accords, standard setting, regulatory networks, regulatory agencies, regulation ‘through information’, bench-marking, peer review, mimicking, policy competition, and informal agreements, as well as new modes of governance and forms of policy experimentation in different economic sectors, where a new mix of public and private goods is sought. Policy areas in which the new modes of governance are applied include, for example, macro-economic management, economic reform and innovation, research and development, employment, social inclusion, public service provision, and sustainable development; migration, criminal prosecution, utility and service regulation, taxation, training and education and others. The present report focuses only on partnerships between public and non public actors set up at sub-national level to administer socio-economic policies. More specifically it has addressed two particularly relevant mode of concertation: the Territorial Pacts (in the Torino area) and the Local Development Agencies (in the Milan area). It has explored the following key aspects of the ‘deepening’ of partnership-based governance to the administrative stage of socio-economic policies: - the emergence and institutionalisation of ‘administrative partnerships’ and their relationship with the emergence and dynamics of concertative arrangements at the national and or local levels; - the aims and logic of action of administrative partnerships, their actual clout in the administrative processes and their score in terms of institutional capabilities (e.g. the capacity to tailor policies to changing national or local conditions; actual implementation capacities; learning and monitoring capacities); - the degree of (formal and informal) involvement of non-public actors in such partnerships, and the feedback of participation in administrative partnerships on the organisational structures of these actors (with special reference to the social partners).
