Lead, link, or leverage? An integrative framework to assess different government roles in collaborative governance processes across political systems
本文构建了一个区分政府领导、联结和撬动三种角色的整合框架，并通过加拿大和荷兰的国家气候政策案例，揭示了制度与政治因素如何影响不同政治体制下政府的协作能力。
Abstract Collaborative governance is an emerging phenomenon through which governments nowadays are seeking to address today's societal challenges. Oftentimes, this requires governments to assume different roles and responsibilities. To unpack this multidimensionality, this study establishes an integrative framework distinguishing between a leading, linking and leveraging role, and accounting for institutional and actor‐level aspects. We clarify the analytical leverage of this framework through a plausibility probe comparing two collaborative processes in Canada and the Netherlands, focused on national climate policy processes. Our findings underscore the value of our framework, shed light on how institutional and political drivers shape collaborative roles of governments across political systems, and their collaborative abilities in the face of politicization.
