Exploring the impact of collaboration processes on policy networks success: a case study of food policy councils
研究了协作治理中过程特征（网络密度、多样性、包容性和参与）对12个食品政策委员会成功的影响，发现多元利益相关者平等参与审议是有效结果的路径之一。
Innovative forms of collaborative governance have evolved to address a diversity of wicked problems. Collaboration processes involved in these forms of governance appear to have a paradoxical nature, where the necessary inclusiveness and diversity of actors may also be important obstacles for a successful collaboration. We apply theories of collaborative and network governance, and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis, to explore the impact of collaboration process characteristics (network density, diversity, inclusion and participation) on 12 food policy councils. Our findings suggest that collaborative arrangements where diverse stakeholders have equal and inclusive access to active deliberation constitute one path to effective outcomes.
