Abstract
In this paper an attempt is made to widen the perspective under which interorganizational networks are generally seen. It is argued that both in the economy and in policy making, network phenomena are in fact becoming more prominent. This is linked to functional differentiation, a core process of societal modernization, which implies the existence of partly autonomous societal subsystems. Their emergence is closely connected with the ascendance of formal organizations, which in turn enjoy a certain measure of autonomy. In this structural context, interorganizational network following a logic of negotiation, which extends to "constitutional" issues can provide a solution to coordination problems typical of modern societies.
