The governance of public goods typically involves collaboration among state, market, and civil society actors, each contributing with varying degrees of participation and accountability (Ostrom 2010; Bovaird and Loeffler 2016). In most contexts, the state remains the central actor responsible for ensuring the provision and equitable distribution of essential public goods such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, and security (Musgrave 1969; Desmarais-Tremblay 2017). National and local governments allocate resources, enforce regulatory standards, and oversee the accessibility and quality of these services, reflecting their fundamental obligations towards social equity and public welfare (Atkinson 2015).
