Changes in public governance in many countries have brought new structures and relations between state agencies and schools. The states are â with inspiration from global trends and trans- and supranational agencies â being developed into hypercomplex and polycentric states with no single centre of power but with numerous means of influence and networks, where power is distributed and decisions are negotiated. There are isomorphic tendencies in governance at several levels in the ways hard governance (legally binding regulations) is being substituted or supplemented by soft governance (advisory, persuasive and sense-making methods). Many new forms of influences are thus being designed at state, local and organizational levels with strong tendencies towards the use of soft governance in the management of schools and in many cases also in the management in schools. Examples could be management by discourses, social technologies, networking and evaluation. One aspect of the internalisation of education â as demonstrated in the discourse of knowledge societies â is that the expectations towards schools practice and outcomes is changing and so is the expectation towards school leadership
