Abstract
Not all networks function following the same principle. In order to better understand differences between networks, we lay out the dimensions of network governance (founding pact, network architecture, interpersonal game rule) identified by Moreau Defarges (2003), and the classification of networks into three types (distributed network, steered network, administered network) elaborated by Provan and Kenis (2007).
In this chapter, we analyze the specifics of each type of network and its limits, which can lead the network to evolve towards a “network of networks” form.
