Strengthening of modern political governance in Latvia reflects the most significant trends in the sphere of governance. The new meaning of the governance concept is based on opinions of governance researchers, the most essential EU normative acts and policy planning documents which influence multilevel governance in the EU, as well the development of governance in Latvia. Traditions and prejudices of the present governance in Latvia indicate that there is a need to change principles of governance in cooperation with organised civil society, social partners and local governments in order to create an environment that is favourable for the development of the national economy and thus to raise the individual and general welfare level. There are possibilities to improve governance, as well as to activate the involvement of civil society and to develop social partnership on the basis of the adopted EU decisions in the sphere of governance development.

Rapid changes in financial markets proved that Latvia's economy was unable to adapt in a timely way to globalisation, to avoid the risks it created, and to take advantage of the open economy. A drop in the GDP and an increase in unemployment signal the need to pay attention to structural changes in the national economy. In order to understand the opportunities for change, the author analyses work organisation by assuming that changes in work organisation could help to overcome the economic downturn and increase labour productivity. The section on how work organisation can contribute to increasing Latvia's competitiveness and strengthening its knowledge-based society focuses on the most significant forecasts regarding economic development in Latvia and the degree to which these forecasts correspond to the current work organisation and to opportunities provided by the cooperation of social partners. This assessment is performed on the basis of studies conducted in the European Union, and it analyses the opportunities and limits of Latvia's competitiveness. Aspects of Taylorism and modern work organisation are also analysed in order to understand changes in work organisation. Types of work organisation are assessed from the perspective of different sectors. The article also assesses the role of social partners in sector management, describes opportunities and makes recommendations for improving work organisation and strengthening social partnerships.
