Collaborative Governance in a Complex World I: Cooperation, Coordination and Networks

Abstract

Collaborative governance approaches offer ways to effectively address complex societal problems, bringing diverse actors together to develop shared understandings, exchange knowledge, and co-produce policy solutions. However, collaboration is also subject to power games, conflict, and endogenous challenges. This panel features theoretical, conceptual, and empirical contributions that advance our understanding of collaboration in policymaking, network analysis, multi-level policymaking, cooperation between actors, and related concepts.
