Abstract

Le présent papier vise à expliciter les fondements théoriques du concept de gouvernance. Nous soulignons, tout d’abord, la théorie de l’agence de Jensen et Meckling (1976) qui concerne toute relation entre mandataire et mandant. Ainsi, au niveau d’un État, il s’agit de la relation entre le peuple (mandant) et l’élu du peuple (mandataire). Ensuite, nous distinguons trois cadres conceptuels dans le champ de l’économie des contrats, i.e. la théorie des incitations (TI), la théorie des contrats incomplets (TCI) et la théorie des coûts de transactions (TCT), qui fournissent des éclaircissements sur le concept de gouvernance d’un système.
