Governance Networks in Night-time Economies

Despite its obvious importance in social life, night-time was a blind spot for social sciences. However, in the 2000s, there was a notable increase in the number of works on night-related studies and some scholars argue that "night studies" (Kyba et al., 2020) can claim its own right to be treated as a distinctive scientific field, expanding through traditional disciplinary boundaries (Acuto et al., 2021). There are a number of ways in which the night-time economy as a social practice can be approached: in a substantive approach, focusing on the activities conducted during nighttime hours and the different formal and informal businesses; in a spatial approach of night-time, as it is not distributed evenly across geographical areas; in a temporal approach; and finally, through its distinctive ambience or settings for social interactions.
