The complexity of social and institutional relations, increased in recent years also due to technological transformations and the central role of finance, has produced very strong implications for government functions and organizations. On the one hand, structures and functions are less and less concentrated at the national level and have been articulated both in a sub-national dimension and in a supranational one, on the other the responsibilities of government are increasingly shared with civil society organizations and they envisage degrees of relationships unknown in the past between public subjects and private subjects. This increases the level of interdependence between institutions and between institutions and private subjects.
