Abstract
The issue of this literature review is to study the role of a state in politics, and which needs the support and the involvement of the public sector as well as the private sector, of the social group interests and the market, and which has to be decided and implemented at the local and supranational level to be efficient. This problematic subject is part of a context of governance that Lundqvist in his 2001 article describes according to two points of view, the one of Rhodes (governing without government) and the other of Pierre and Peters (the state in a central position). Lundqvist concludes that the context of governance makes governments dependent on targets groups for information and implementation, but have still a central role due to the monopoly over legal force.
