description Governance, rather than the older word government, is thought to be a more accurate descriptor of the reality of contemporary state structures, where an ever-increasing percentage of the state's work is outsourced to for-profit, nonprofit, and faith-based organizations. The objective in this article is to suggest that before policymakers and public managers accept third-party government as a fait accompli, to be reconceptualized and relabeled accordingly, those concerned with constitutional principles grounded in a conception of limited government think long and hard about the implications of these practices - not just for public administration, but for the very notion of a limited state. Political efforts to keep government responsible and accountable depend on the ability to identify government and to recognize when the state has acted. "Governance" may be robbing citizens of the ability to make that crucial threshold identification.
