Power and conflict in network governance: exclusive and inclusive forms of network administrative organizations
本文从权力视角出发,通过两个以色列治理网络的案例,研究对抗与合作两种权力策略如何导致排他性或包容性的网络行政组织,并影响网络存续、合法性与绩效。
Scholars often view conflict management in governance networks as a consensus-seeking practice in which managers attempt to resolve disputes and advance collective network goals. In contrast, this article uses a power-based perspective to explore how different power strategies – adversarial and cooperative – may be applied to manage conflict and disagreements in networks. Using qualitative empirical evidence from two Israeli governance networks, it postulates these strategies lead to different types of network administrative organizations (NAOs) – exclusive and inclusive – which may enhance or obstruct inter-organizational collaboration. The article uses the case studies to evaluate the ensuing implications for networks‘ endurance, legitimacy, and performance.
