The investigation of collaborative governance involving government and non-government entities presents an intriguing area of study due to the existing research gap in the field of disaster management pertaining to the partnership between these two sectors. The objective of this study is to contribute insights that can inform the future direction of research on collaborative governance. The researcher conducted an investigation on the utilization of R Studio (specifically, Biblioshiny) and performed a comprehensive assessment of scientific literature pertaining to collaborative governance. This investigation involved the analysis and visualization of data from 135 examples across multiple sectors. Following a comprehensive review, the researcher has successfully identified significant variables that possess the potential to exert influence on collaborative governance. This identification was achieved through the utilization of data analysis and visualization techniques applied to a corpus of 135 documents authored by 377 scientists, which were sourced from 89 reputable journals published within the timeframe spanning from 2009 to 2023. It is worth noting that research pertaining to this subject matter has experienced a surge in interest since 2002, and this trend has persisted with an annual growth rate of 12.18%. The biblioshiny mapping results provide an overview of five prominent research themes in the field of collaborative governance management. These themes are identified based on the minimum five-word frequency and word count per year. The subjects encompassed in this discourse consist of governance approach models, climate change, decision-making processes, collaborative governance, and stakeholders. In recent years, esteemed academic publications such as the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, together with Public Administration Review, have played a pivotal role in promoting and fostering research on Collaborative Governance. The outcomes of this research can aid academics in providing a comprehensive analysis of the existing body of literature on Collaborative Management.

“…Therefore, some scholars constructed regional CEG models from the perspectives of synergetic theory, cross-departmental governance, polycentric governance, etc. [13][14][15][16][17], and proposed countermeasures [18,19]. Secondly, the CEGN characteristics and evolution and collaborative governance effect are explored through quantitative analysis [20,21].…”

China has successively set goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, aiming to transform to a green and low-carbon economy. Collaborative environmental governance (CEG) is an important way to achieve this transformation. To improve collaborative environmental governance, the study of the evolution of the collaborative environmental governance network (CEGN) is necessary. In this study, the CEGNs in different periods in Guizhou Province, China are established based on social network analysis. Then, the evolution of environment governance policy implementers’ functions in the network is investigated by two-dimensional (breadth and intensity) matrices. Moreover, the evolution of core implementers’ functions and its impacts on the operation of the network are analyzed based on the network stability. The results show that the network size, frequency of collaboration, and cohesion have gradually increased, and the network structure has changed from a loose pattern to an expanded and balanced system. Implementers such as the governments of municipalities (prefectures) (MGs) and counties (districts) (CGs), urban management committee (UMCs), and municipal (prefecture) ecological environment bureaus (MBEEs) have played leading and coordinating roles at different phases. However, the cohesion of the network is low, indicating a low level of collaboration. This study integrates the collaborative governance theory and social network analysis, which provides a new way for the study of CEG. In addition, the CEG effect is evaluated by analyzing the evolution of the CEGN, which provides a reference for the CEG policy making in developing regions.

“…Limited capacity is a global challenge for strengthening food system policy making and implementation, and is common in small, developing island states, including in the Pacific [18][19][20][21][22]. However, capacity in this context often receives a limited meaning: it tends to refer to human and financial capacity.…”

Systemic Capacity in Food System Governance in the Solomon Islands: “It’s More than Just Training”

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Food security and malnutrition are leading health and development issues in the Pacific Island region. The food system scholarship points to the need for capacity building across multiple levels of governance to improve food system outcomes in the Pacific Island Countries and Territories. This paper aims to identify the strengths and weaknesses of systemic capacity in the food system governance of the Solomon Islands and identify opportunities for capacity building. A theoretically informed, empirical policy analysis was undertaken, informed by qualitative semistructured key informant interviews. Challenges related to capacity included slow information flows, inadequate human resourcing, and skill gaps at all levels of government. Opportunities for capacity building span workload, personal, performance, supervisory, role, systems, and structural capacities. These include the improvement of coordination between food system actors through the establishment of a multisectoral food system platform or agency, and increasing the involvement of vulnerable populations in policy planning and decision making. The current food system governance of the Solomon Islands shows important strengths in systemic capacity across multiple capacity types at national, provincial, and community levels. Our analysis provides insights for future capacity building efforts that build on these strengths to improve social, environmental, and economic outcomes.
