175). Compliance is however not further defined, although it seems to refer to ‘obeying or carrying out the wish or rules of others’. Besides the lack of clearly defined concepts, other potential difficulties with the concepts rule systems and sphere of authority exist. First, concepts that define how changes in governance come about are absent. In fact, this is a broader problem in governance research. While changes are observed, concepts that allow for an analysis of how a change comes about are absent.
Moreover, certain rules can be part of a sphere of authority for a long time, while others are new and ad hoc and only have a momentary impact on the acts of actors in the sphere of authority. Rules of the game are closely related to both the actor and the power dimension. Rules are linked with actors because rules influence the behaviour of actors, the position of actors in the sphere of authority and the interaction between actors. However, rules also provide power resources to actors when these rules allocate certain responsibilities or specific power resources to actors.
Second, the use of Rosenau’s conceptual framework would lead to a limited understanding of how the authority of the state (or other actors) can change. In this framework an actor either evokes compliance or not. This kind of authority is thus very much focused on what happens after the goals or objectives and the target group(s) of steering have already been defined. It is about making the other to abide the rules, to follow the procedures set out, to meet certain criteria, to reach the goal set, etc.
