“…Future studies might build on our work by examining how these kinds of agreements work in practice through the use of analytical narratives, interviewing policymakers involved the negotiation and implementation of the agreements, and engaging in content analysis of the texts themselves (Deaton & Lipka, 2023; Huo et al., 2022). Other research might focus on instances where no interlocal agreements exist to determine the factors that prevent such partnerships from emerging.…”

Interlocal agreements are becoming a popular policy tool for facilitating intergovernmental coordination and cooperation in Canada and the United States. Indigenous and local governments are also turning to these agreements despite long histories of colonialism, exploitation and dispossession by the settler State toward Indigenous communities. To what extent do interlocal agreements between Indigenous and municipal governments require stringent accountability measures to facilitate intergovernmental coordination? Using a hierarchical Bayesian item response theory model, we explore this question by analyzing 317 interlocal agreements between Indigenous and municipal communities in Canada. We find that accountability strength varies significantly across agreements, contrary to our expectation that accountability requirements would be strong across agreements due to the long history of colonialism. We also find that some of the variation may be a function of the policy area addressed by each agreement, although this finding is likely the result of measurement uncertainty in our estimates.

This paper examines policy convergence in Indigenous-local agreements in Canada using a dataset of 192 agreements collected between 2010 and 2014. It explores whether these agreements, which facilitate service sharing, contracting, and relationship formation, exhibit similarities across Indigenous communities, and whether these similarities are being driven by geographic location, proximity, or cultural similarity. Using word embeddings analysis, we find that culture is the strongest predictor of semantic similarity, with geographic location within the same province and proximity having much smaller effects.
