The supreme organizational platform level of a hierarchical order targeting | implementing normative, inclusive, and participative governability of various, diverse, and interdependent discourses and interactions of private | public actors in intra- | intersystemic, interorganizational, intergovernmental, intersocietal networks, arenas, alliances.
the governance of governance (not a super-governance), the "governing of governing", the coordination mechanism, process, manner, method and|or system of metagoverning processes; the systemic approach for the development, implementation, and management of Metapolicy Regimes, guided by the constitutional determination of MetaPolity.
a syndicating interorganizational networks-system between the state, market, civil society, and their interrelated institutions and organizations using hierarchical mechanisms or instruments with normative dimension correlating values, norms, and principles to underpin governance systems and governing approaches.
an innovative system of democratic legitimacy of structuring, ruling, and governing: multilevel (national, international, supranational, transnational), multifaceted (in principle, territorial, functional, prospective), and with a multitude of actors (social, economic, political and cultural; institutional and extra-institutional) as subjects of free will ...
a management | ruling system based on the supremacy of constantly adapted, correlated, and controlled policy legitimation according to the MetaLeadership paradigm | systematics as developed by N O M O I .

shaping | steering | monitoring the entire governing process, the input and the output of the governing system(s), and "super-vision" as a relative monopoly of organized intelligence ensuring coherence.

managing the complexity, plurality, and tangled hierarchies: power-sharing, negotiation, conflict conciliation and communication, on both the inter- and intra-institutional levels.
coordinating the reciprocal interdependence among operationally autonomous actors, organizations, and functional systems' hierarchical, market, and network governance: the systems' relationship to institutional orders and functional systems including civil society.
combining different ideas, methods, mechanisms, strategies, and styles of governance also referring to self-organizing, inter-organizational | institutional networks: the rules of self-regulation and the conditions of self-steering | -regulating policy networks.
strategic-relationally approaching the social structures, legal norms, hierarchies and legitimacy, standards, benchmarks, performance indicators, quality controls, in-| compatibilities, and best practice.
selective strategizing in collaborative policy innovation networks to establish concerted policy action by framing, designing, facilitating participation | inclusion.

(multilevel) metagovernance is part of a broader post-Westphalian 'meta-constitutional conversation' that is occurring between non-state and state actors to develop and institutionalize an anthropocenic, human/e political order.
an alternative form of hierarchical governing that is not based on direct and top-down control but a plurality of in-| direct ways of influencing and/or coordinating the actions of self-governing, self-organizing actors and self-adjusting practices.
an increasing role of governments in all aspects of metagovernance: concurrently the state is no longer the "single" sovereign authority based on the "reason of state" but becoming just one participant among others in multilateral, pluralistic system of guidance contributing its individual distinctive resources to the constant negotiation process.
a post-national form of statehood (f. e. EU: inherited intergovernmentalism): institutional mediation through the state apparatus with its structurally-inscribed strategic selectivity in relation to complex and interrelated problems and the division of hybrid government and governance powers.
a systemic mechanism developing strategies, setting and monitoring targets, and forming partnerships: such 'advanced liberal' forms of governmentality can both mobilize and facilitate the energies of civil society.
a dynamic, resilient ruling system with the highest capable management quality guaranteed by the supremacy of transcendently determined Meta-Leadership systematics as developed by the NOMOI Institute.
