Whole‐of‐government and joined‐up government: A systematic literature review
系统梳理了1992至2021年间340篇关于整体政府和协同政府的期刊文章,发现相关研究呈上升趋势且全球影响力扩大,但大规模假设检验仍有限。
Abstract We conducted a systematic literature review of 340 journal articles (1992–2021) pertaining to whole‐of‐government (WG) and joined‐up government (JUG)—two terms that denote public sector efforts to promote cross‐boundary work and restructuring. This review clarifies and renews our understanding of developments with respect to WG/JUG research. While JUG articles do not appear to be increasing, the number of WG articles is on a general upward trend. As of 2021, more WG articles were published on countries other than the Western nations typically recognized as centers for these reforms, signaling increasing global relevance of the topic. These articles were published in over 200 journals and span various policy spheres, suggesting the wide impact research can have. While the qualitative studies we reviewed update the list of recommendations for effective WG/JUG, large‐ N hypothesis testing remains limited—a gap that can be addressed to generate robust knowledge on this topic.
