hi. thanks for this question. in some cases, cultural or political institutions able to change policy of goverment.

There are many definitions of governance but all have to do with the processes of interaction—related to, say, hierarchies, markets, or networks—through which control is effected over a social system: definitions of governance usually have to do with who has power, who makes decisions, how actors make their voices heard, and how account is rendered. (And so, emphasis is usually ascribed to transparency, predictability, participation, and accountability.) The processes of interaction (and what governs them) lead to the creation, reinforcement, reproduction, alteration, etc. of social norms and institutions, which may well be formal organizations. The insights at https://www.researchgate.net/post/In_governance_lexicon_what_is_the_difference_between_governance_and_institutions may be of interest.

As governance theory is becoming the dominant political theory in response to the change, the values backing the discourse and texts consistent with them have helped revise the theory of government institution in mainstream politics and were agreed upon by global politicians, scholars, officials and entrepreneurs. When we comprehend governance theory based on the practice of public institution , it strikes us how theoretically and practically important governance theory is for rebuilding the intellectual system of several institution’s democratic politics, searching for an institutional platform for good governance, transforming the public policy-making model and getting rid of the practice in public administration in the process of market-oriented development that is inefficient, or even fails in many ways.

Government agencies

government agencies are devices of the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia which according to applicable legislation consist of: ministries, departments, non-departmental government agencies, secretariats of high state institutions, this headquarters (including: headquarters of the army, air force, navy), Indonesian republic police. representative offices of foreign governments, the attorney general's office, the apparatus of the provincial government, the district / city government apparatus, and other institutions / bodies financed from the state budget. for district / city governments, what is meant by government agencies is the regional work unit (skpd)

Institution

Institutions or institutions are norms or rules regarding a particular community activity. Norms / rules in the form of written institutions (constitution, applicable laws, sanctions in accordance with official law) and unwritten (customary law, prevailing customs, sanctions are social / moral sanctions (eg ostracized)). Institutions are binding and relatively old and have certain characteristics, namely symbols, values, rules of the game, goals, completeness, and age.

Institutions can be divided into 4 types, namely:

A formal institution is an institution formed by the government or by a private sector that receives official confirmation and has written / official rules. Formal institutions are divided into 2 types, namely:

Government institutions are institutions that are formed by the government based on a need because their duties are based on a statutory regulation carrying out activities to improve community service and improve the standard of living for the happiness of the people's welfare. Government institutions or government institutions are divided into two types, namely:

Government institution headed by a minister.

Government institutions that are not led by a minister, and are directly responsible to the president (called Non-Departmental Government Institutions). Example: Institute of Public Administration and Indonesian Institute of Sciences.

Private institutions are institutions formed by the private sector (private organizations) because of certain motivations or incentives based on legislation without coercion from any party. These institutions or institutions consciously and sincerely carry out activities to participate in providing community services in certain fields as an effort to improve the standard of living and welfare of the community. Example: Foundation for People with Disabilities, Consumer Institutions, Legal Aid Institutions, Political Parties.

A non-formal institution is an institution that grows in the community because the community needs it as a place to accommodate their aspirations. The characteristics of non-formal institutions include:

Grow in the community because the community shapes it, as a place to accommodate their aspirations.

The scope of work, both the area and its activities are very limited.

More social because it aims to improve the welfare of the members.

In general, do not have formal rules (without statutes / by-laws)

I'm guessing. I don't think they are too different, but I'd use Instutions when I refer to the formal structures, e.g. The Constitution, the Courts..., where as I'd use Governance when I refer to the dynamics within the system. (note now I'll look at what the others have said)

Concuerdo en la separación de los conceptos. Las instituciones son estructuras qué sobreviven en el tiempo, en tanto que la gobernanza es el producto de la interrelación entre el gobierno y el pueblo. Esta interrelación se da a través e las políticas públicas del Estado, que se ejecutan a través de las instituciones del Estado.

Governance refer to activity of public or private institutions.

My understanding is the following:

Governance: how governing takes place (rules, practices, etc.)

Institutions: organizations that govern (who or what is doing the governing)
