Collaboration in action: How micro-level relational dynamics are connected with issue frame convergence in collaborative governance networks
研究了荷兰城市更新中利益相关者的微观关系动态，发现基于关怀的动态通过反思性整合差异促进深层议题框架趋同，对协作治理实践者有用。
In this article, we investigate stakeholders’ micro-level relational dynamics and their connection to issue frame convergence in collaborative governance. We longitudinally studied the collaborative network around area regeneration in an urban area in the Netherlands. Three different relational dynamics emerged over time: an adversarial, a transactional and a care-based dynamic. A care-based dynamic fostered ’deeper level’ issue frame convergence through reflexive integration of differences. Reflexive learning about relational dynamics within collaborative networks is required to nurture this fruitful and productive connection. Participatory action research can offer action perspectives on how to do so.
