The state-of-art in governance research has produced an overwhelming diversity of approaches but still misses tools and theoretical foundations for taking an overall systemic perspective. This book presents a substantiation of contemporary notions of governance providing a systemic framework that captures social structures based on first and transdisciplinary principles of viability andsustainability. That framework enables taking a holistic view on social contexts evolving a rich picture on what leverages the implementation of social purposes. Thus it allows making sense on governance outside the boxes of the professional disciplines involved. Social structures can be assessed, strength andweaknesses identified and measures derived to attend to them. Ultimately, therequired structures can be tailored made-to-measure to align forces for the implementation of aspired purposes.
