In most national settings, there is either a two-tier (national versus local government) or a three-tier (national versus state or provincial versus local government) administrative hierarchy (Tindal and Nobes-Tindal 2004; Douglas 2005; Shucksmith 2010). Most current environmental, social, and health impact assessment processes are administered by national, or state/provincial levels of government. The concept of governance, however, is different. At its simplest, it refers to the process of managing participation and involvement, leading towards decision making (Rhodes 1996; Marsden and Murdoch 1998; O’Toole and Burdess 2004).

We understand much more about how communities, families, social systems, and local cultures are affected.
