Whether the goal is building a local park or developing disaster response models, collaborative governance is changing the way public agencies at the local, regional, and national levels are working ...with each other and with key partners in the nonprofit and private sectors. While the academic literature has spawned numerous case studies and context- or policy-specific models for collaboration, the growth of these innovative collaborative governance systems has outpaced the scholarship needed to define it.Collaborative Governance Regimesbreaks new conceptual and practical ground by presenting an integrative framework for working across boundaries to solve shared problems, a typology for understanding variations among collaborative governance regimes, and an approach for assessing both process and productivity performance. This book draws on diverse literatures and uses rich case illustrations to inform scholars and practitioners about collaborative governance regimes and to provide guidance for designing, managing, and studying such endeavors in the future.Collaborative Governance Regimeswill be of special interest to scholars and researchers in public administration, public policy, and political science who want a framework for theory building, yet the book is also accessible enough for students and practitioners.

All too often government lacks the skill, the will, and the wallet to meet its missions. Schools fall short of the mark while roads and bridges fall into disrepair. Health care costs too much and ...delivers too little. Budgets bleed red ink as the cost of services citizens want outstrips the taxes they are willing to pay. Collaborative Governance is the first book to offer solutions by demonstrating how government at every level can engage the private sector to overcome seemingly insurmountable problems and achieve public goals more effectively.
Local governments do not stand alone—they find themselves in new relationships not only with state and federal government, but often with a widening spectrum of other public and private organizations ...as well. The result of this re-forming of local governments calls for new collaborations and managerial responses that occur in addition to governmental and bureaucratic processes-as-usual, bringing locally generated strategies or what the authors call "jurisdiction-based management" into play. Based on an extensive study of 237 cities within five states, Collaborative Public Management provides an in-depth look at how city officials work with other governments and organizations to develop their city economies and what makes these collaborations work. Exploring the more complex nature of collaboration across jurisdictions, governments, and sectors, Agranoff and McGuire illustrate how public managers address complex problems through strategic partnerships, networks, contractual relationships, alliances, committees, coalitions, consortia, and councils as they function together to meet public demands through other government agencies, nonprofit associations, for-profit entities, and many other types of nongovernmental organizations. Beyond the "how" and "why," Collaborative Public Management identifies the importance of different managerial approaches by breaking them down into parts and sequences, and describing the many kinds of collaborative activities and processes that allow local governments to function in new ways to address the most nettlesome public challenges.
Performance-based evaluation criteria (PBEC) are vital for selecting high-quality suppliers and achieving a PPP procurement performance. Through theoretical and institutional analysis, we found that ...the selection of PBEC centered on operations depends on the discretion of the purchaser. However, in an emerging and transforming PPP market, many factors have affected the scientific exercise of the purchaser's discretion. This means that PPP projects must focus on construction and neglect operation in a certain period. Furthermore, to explore the influencing factors of the definition of PBEC, based on data of 9082 PPP projects between 2009 and 2021 in China, we adopted Ordinary Least Squares to empirically analyze two factors that influence the level of attention that is paid to the operation plan: corruption and accountability. The results indicate that the attention paid to the operation plan significantly increased with the reduction in corruption and the improvement in accountability. Robustness tests demonstrate the robustness of the results. A further heterogeneity analysis shows that the above factors have a more significant impact on non-state demonstration projects and projects with large investments. The contributions of this study are as follows: (1) Theoretically, this paper supplements the relevant research on evaluation criteria and provides new evidence on the impact of corruption and accountability on the defining PBEC. (2) Institutionally, it provides specific paths to limit the discretion of procurement officials when defining evaluation criteria. (3) In practice, it helps procurement officials to scientifically define PBEC and promote the realization of procurement performance.
Today's public managers not only have to function as leaders within their agencies, they must also establish and coordinate multi-organizational networks of other public agencies, private ...contractors, and the public. This important transformation has been the subject of an explosion of research in recent years.The Collaborative Public Managerbrings together original contributions by some of today's top public management and public policy scholars who address cutting-edge issues that affect government managers worldwide. State-of-the-art empirical research reveals why and how public managers collaborate and how they motivate others to do the same. Examining tough issues such as organizational design and performance, resource sharing, and contracting, the contributors draw lessons from real-life situations as they provide tools to meet the challenges of managing conflict within interorganizational, interpersonal networks. This book pushes scholars, students, and professionals to rethink what they know about collaborative public management-and to strive harder to achieve its full potential.
O texto objetiva analisar os desdobramentos das politicas educacionais no Piaui, entre 2003 e 2015, considerando o contexto socioeconomico e politico desse estado. Para isso, realizamos uma pesquisa ...bibliografica e documental dos principais aspectos que marcaram o desenvolvimento socioeconomico, politico e educacional do Brasil e do Piaui nesse periodo, marcado pelo neodesenvolvimentismo. Concluimos que houve um movimento positivo de expansao da oferta da educacao basica e de melhoria de indicadores educacionais no estado. Contudo, existiram entraves resultantes das limitacoes do neodesenvolvimentismo, a exemplo das parcerias publico privadas, que possibilitaram ao mercado definir propostas didatico-pedagogicas e angariar recursos publicos. Igualmente, permaneceu o carater gerencial no controle de resultados e na racionalizacao das acoes educativas. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Neodesenvolvimentismo, Politicas educacionais, Piaui. The text aims at analyzing the developments of educational policies in the state of Piaui, between 2003 and 2015, considering the socioeconomic and political context of this state. To this end, we carried out a bibliographical and documentary research of the main aspects that marked the socioeconomic, political and educational development of Brazil and Piaui in this period, marked by neodevelopmentalism. It is possible to conclude that there was a positive movement of expansion of the offer of basic education and improvement of educational indicators in the state under analysis. Nevertheless, there were obstacles resulting from the limitations of neodevelopmentalism, such as public-private partnerships, which enabled the market to define didactic-pedagogical proposals and raise public resources. Similarly, the managerial character remained in the control of results and in the rationalization of educational actions. KEYWORDS: Neodevelopmentalism, Educational policies, Piaui.
