“…Furthermore, this research suggests that informal networks function separate from (although interacting with) formal networks. Rather than informal as merely an early phase of relationships that later become formalized (as suggested by Abram, Mahaney, Linhorst, Toben, & Flowers, 2005; and Imperial, 2005), they are an integral and indispensable part of the policy implementation process. This finding was supported by our qualitative interview data.…”

Although public agencies must mutually coordinate climate policy and other complex environmental issues, the extent and relative importance of informal networks and different dimensions of trust to the process remains underresearched. Addressing this, we conducted surveys and interviews with civil servants from numerous agencies and three levels of government working on climate change-related policy in the state of New York. We examined the effect of two network properties on mutual learning on climate change-related issues: the extent to which interagency communication takes places through formal and informal channels, and the distribution of two dimensions of trust ("fair play" and "relational comfort") across the network. Our analysis revealed that formal communication among staff at different agencies was utilized more often than informal and that interagency relationships were more characterized by a feeling of "fair play" than by "relational comfort," yet informal communication and Relational Comfort were the most important in facilitating interagency collaboration.

“…When service delivery is achieved in an informal network, it tends to be a function of service coordination or what Agranoff (2007, 10) calls ''outreach'' networks in which network members ''come together to exchange information and technologies, sequence programming, exchange resource opportunities, pool client contacts, and enhance access opportunities that lead to new programming avenues.'' What many informal networks have in common is their tendency to become formalized over time (Abram et al 2005;Imperial 2005). This transition from informal to formal networks has been noted outside of public administration as well (MacKenzie 2008;Minoglou 2002).…”

This article examines the road that network scholarship has followed in Public Administration. We look at the historical drivers of the use of networks in practice and scholarship in the field and discuss how that has shaped the current literature. The body of the article focuses on the current challenges that network scholars face in the discipline, specifically basic theoretical issues, knowledge about formal networks, knowledge about informal networks, and methodological issues. We close the article with a look to the future and some suggestions for the future of network scholarship in Public Administration.

“…Thirdly, regarding terminology, diverse labels such as collaboration, interagency collaboration, multidisciplinary interagency working, interdisciplinary coordination and interprofessional working are commonly used. In addition, many different models of collaboration are applied worldwide towards different target groups of children and adolescents (e.g., Wong et al, 2012;Horwath & Morrison, 2011;Abram et al, 2005;Teixcera de Melo & Alarco, 2011;Darlington et al, 2005;Philippo & Strone, 2006;Haas et al, 2011;Banks et al, 2008;Kutash et al, 2014).…”
