Governance of a Network of Networks: Case Studies

Abstract

In this chapter we examine two case studies that will enlighten us on the governance of a network of networks, when the solidarity links are no longer federated to the unique network level but to a multitude of networks connected to one another. This will lead us to approach the political dimension of governance, in addition to the socio-economic dimensions. We present a case study on a subnational network of networks, the European Union, and a case study on a national regional network of networks, FREGIF (federation of health care networks for elder persons in the Ile-de-France region).
