Collaborative Governance. Introduction and definition While all challenges provide opportunities for a more effective large-scale collaboration in public action, the relevant institutional design is far from being introduced. The formal inclusion of citizens input in the policy-making process, the deriving institutional rules, the legitimacy and accountability framework are all issues that have so far been little explored. Instant, open governance implies a substantial increase in feedback loops that are of a different scale with respect to the present context. Any system stability is affected by the number, speed and intensity of feedback loops, and the institutional context has been designed for less and slower loops. The definition and design of public sector role is being directly affected by the radical increase in bottom-up collaboration, deriving from the lower cost of self-organisation. There are also important questions to be answered – where does the legitimacy come from, how to gain and maintain the trust of users, how to identify the users online. There is also a very important issue of how to take into the account the diversity of the standpoints, i.e. how to achieve a consensual answer to controversial social issues, especially when we do not offer alternatives (ready-made options) but start from an open question and work throughout different options proposed by participants. Furthermore, the trade-off between direct or representative model of democracy will have to be analysed in this context. It is far from being proved that the open and collaborative governance is really inclusive and representative of all the social groups, including the disadvantaged and of all standpoints. There is a visible risk that online collaboration increases the divide, rather than reduces it. The management of institutional bodies is changing: innovative ideas and insight coming from employees and citizens are key resources to be exploited, and meritocracy and transparency are entering an once stable and conservative workforce. Enhanced collaboration with citizens and private third parties should be accompanied by adequate legal and accountability frameworks, mapping incentives to participation and enabling business models for different stakeholders. The privacy paradigm is changing and appropriate, more dynamic frameworks have to be designed, taking into account the willingness of citizens to share information and at the same time ensuring their full awareness of the implications and th...
Collaborative Governance. Due to complexity of the current problems that are faced by the different levels of governments, the decline in government efficacy and the scarcity of resources that forces them to “do more with less” a new form of governance have emerged called “collaborative governance” or “network governance” [86]. The literature defines collaborative governance as “the coordination of interdependent actors from public, private and societal sectors for the purposes of developing and implementing public policy” [97]. The model falls in the middle of the spectrum that comprises the different degrees of government involvement [98] Figure 24: Position of collaborative governance along the continuum of government involvement (Source. [86]) The key factor of this model is the inclusion of non-governmental stakeholders in the decision making processes, including the tacit knowledge that these stakeholders can incorporate to the understanding of complex urban issues as NBS projects. Xxxxxx and Xxxx establish six criteria that define the collaborative governance [99]:
