Managing Euregional Networks
以欧洲内部市场为背景，分析马斯特里赫特-莱茵欧区域跨境合作的尝试，为公共管理和商业领域的网络理论发展提供建议。
The European internal market has increased politicians' interest in the implica tions of the new international situation for public administration. In particular, collaboration between regional and local authorities is regarded as important in order to accomplish economies of scale and scope. In this context, the Euregion Maas—Rhine — an area consisting of five regions in three nations, encompassing three languages — is a peculiar and complex example. Using network ideas as a theoretical framework, this paper describes and analyzes attempts to generate collaboration in this region. It highlights various recommendations for the prac tice of transborder interorganizational cooperation and considers the implications for the further development of network theory, a branch of organization theory which is becoming increasingly important for both business and public administration.
