Today cities face the increasing negative consequences of the unsustainable course society is set on. Climate change, biodiversity loss and increasing spatial segregation are testament to this. The effects of these issues often exceed the coping capacity of individual urban housing developers. Thus, an antidote to the current neoliberal trend must be found in collaborations such as public-private partnerships (PPP). Here the shortcomings and limitations of PPP and its potential ability to solve the problem of unsustainable urban development are investigated. Using the Doughnut Economics (DE) model as a general guide, a systematic literature review is conducted. The results reveal evidence that PPPs are unjust and exclude local actors from collaborations. Hence, resident participation and inclusion is considered the best strategy for PPP to evolve as a future guarantor of the sustainable city. First, however, major differences in the character of issues that connect the global model of sustainability to the harsh reality of the local context need to be addressed. This gap concerns the city’s social foundation and ecological ceiling. The DE model applied herein is an excellent tool to test the scope and depth of local collaborations such as PPPs and reflect on international treaties such as SDGs.

“…However, governance scholars are currently investigating the normative outlook of networks. Networking, partnership, and collaboration practices, taken as models for addressing important political problems, are spreading throughout the world today and are widely being discussed as strategic improvements in public rule (Brandtner et al., ; Cristofoli et al., ; Ferlie, Fitzgerald, McGivern, Dopson, & Bennett, ; la Cour & Andersen, ; Larsson, , ; Termeer, Dewulf, Breeman, & Stiller, ; Torfing & Ansell ). This promotion of networks as a both desirable and necessary strategy constitutes a meta‐governance stance (Larsson, , p. 94) whereby politicians and administrators are themselves increasingly engaged in encouraging the adoption of network governance, through a combination of normative as well as empirical arguments, as a new and non‐hierarchical way in which to govern society.…”

“…First, it embraces demands for participation and inclusion in order to overcome distrust of public institutions and associated crisis of legitimacy, and second, it seeks to optimize the governability of complex modern societies in which the autonomy and self‐regulation of private actors, non‐governmental organizations, and ordinary citizens are safeguarded and even promoted (de Sousa Santos, ). States and key public actors, along with a wide set of international organizations, now often explicitly promote governance, with the help of experts through public investigations and open seminars, as a desirable and even necessary way in which to govern (Brandtner, Höllerer, Meyer, & Kornberger, ; la Cour & Andersen, ; Larsson, ).…”

Network governance often signifies an institutionalized, but informal and self-regulating relationship between public and private actors who work together to address various political problems. A common view is that network governance makes it possible to enhance pluralism and disperse political power by transferring such power from the sovereign state to a wider set of private actors and concerned stakeholders. This approach has grown in popularity as scholars, politicians, and public administrators have vigorously explored and promoted networks as a new way in which to address public problems (

“…In the governance literature, a government or public authority that accepts and takes on the responsibility to promote and manage self‐governing networks is often said to engage in meta‐governance (la Cour & Andersen, ; Meuleman, ; Sorensen & Torfing, ; Sørensen, ). Thus, the prominent role of managing and supporting collaboration and networks ascribes the role of meta‐governor to certain key public actors.…”

Meta‐Governance and Collaborative Crisis Management—Competing Rationalities in the Management of the Swedish Security Communications System

It is well recognized that contemporary crisis call for collaborative efforts across both organizational and jurisdictional boundaries. One of the key challenges for governments and public authorities responsible for organizing crisis management is to find adequate ways in which they can support decentralized and collaborative responses. This effort can be analyzed through the meta-governance approach that suggests that different instruments can be used to support decentralized collaborative efforts. This article analyzes the management of crisis communication in Sweden and the implementation of a new national Security Communications System (SCS) as a specific case of meta-governance. The main finding suggests that meta-governance may be impaired by combining different types of governance (sovereignty, markets, or network management) due to competing rationality invested in each governance style. The deadlock was, however, resolved by direct involvement and increased deliberation between the meta-governors and the end users as it generated a shared understanding of crisis management and the utility of a single SCS. Besides identifying the importance of direct involvement in terms of network management the article also suggests that meta-governors need to develop a deeper and more sensitive understanding of the selforganizing nature of networks in order to be able to support collaborative crisis management.
