“…The strategic perspective shifted to what Klijn and Koppenjan (2000) referred to as management of network structures, and managing within networks, to align certain organizations towards a common goal. The new incarnation of the network approach can be found in scholars who conceptualize "collaborative governance" as the key term (O'Flynn and Wanna 2008;Donahue and Zeckhauser 2011).…”

Strategic concepts and practices first evolved in the private sector, so they evoked much controversy when they migrated to the public sector from the late 1970s onwards. Partly this was about their (in)applicability to the distinctive features of government organizations, in particular their focus on public as well as private value, their situation in a political rather than a market environment, their almost exclusive capacity to use legal authority to achieve purposes, and the extent to which they often need to share power over personnel and resources with other public sector agencies. These and other factors complicated efforts to apply New Public Management and similar frameworks in strategy concepts in a governmental context. Partly also the traditional private-sector focus on single organizations did not resonate with the growth of network governance from the 1990s. The authors argue for an alternative model based primarily on the public value framework as a means of incorporating and going beyond traditional strategy thinking.

“…More recent scholarship has identified a trend towards a centralisation of power at the federal level, at the same time as it has been argued that federal-state relations have also become more collaborative (e.g. Hollander and Patapan 2007;O'Flynn and Wanna 2008;Jones 2010). As discussed earlier, this tension can be partly explained by the concurrency that exists in the Australian federation.…”

“…Collaborative governance is interpreted and practiced in a variety of ways [3][4][5][6][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. As Emerson et al note, despite the increasing use of the term 'collaborative governance' in public administration literature, its definition remains 'amorphous and its use inconsistent' ( [4], p. 1).…”

“…Around the world today, the use of DCG strategies is growing [3][4][5]. Although it is not the only way for people to work together, and not always the best way for them to do so [6], various forms of sharing responsibility, authority, and power are being explored to address sustainability challenges that exceed the problem-solving capacities of existing institutions.…”

Sustainability issues involve complex interactions between social, economic, and environmental factors that are often viewed quite differently by disparate stakeholder groups. Issues of non-sustainability are wicked problems that have many, often obscure causes, and for which there is no single, straightforward solution. Furthermore, the concept of sustainability is itself contested. For example there are disputes over whether a strong or weak interpretation of sustainability should be adopted. In cities, as elsewhere, sustainability therefore requires discursive plurality and multiple sites of action. It is the thesis of this paper that effective problem solving, decision-making and enacting of a sustainability agenda require deliberative collaborative governance (DCG), a logical hybrid of the closely related fields of deliberative democracy and collaborative governance. We provide a provisional typology of different modes of deliberative collaborative governance, explaining each with a sustainability example, with a particular focus on DCG initiatives for planning in Western Australia. It is argued that the lens provided by such a typology can help us to understand the factors likely to promote better resolution of wicked problems and increased sustainability.
