Collaborative Governance: Theoretical Foundation and Future Research Agenda
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article clarifies the collaborative governance theory and offers methodological frameworks that could apply to collaborative governance studies in multiple contexts. The early part investigates the theoretical foundation and clarifications of the collaborative governance ideal, particularly the suggestion of the Thai term—Pharkhi-phibarn, which indicates the theoretical essence of collaborative governance. This paper offers three methodological approaches to collaborative governance research: cross-sectoral, inter-organizational, and regime analysis. Moreover, the author also identifies research agendas that would broaden the boundaries of collaborative governance theory, including organizational culture, membership structure, and urban governance regime analysis.
