“…This is because the community is also involved in monitoring the public policy. These findings are consonant with the results of the study conducted by Heinelt & Stolzenberg (2014) and Zerbinati (2012) in that the Village Funds have been managed in an orderly manner, efficiently, economically, effectively, transparently, and responsibly and complied with the legislation by considering a feeling of equity and legitimacy and organizing the interests of the local society. The implementation of the Village Funds have been monitored by the parties related to the Village Funds starting from the appoint-ed mentoring team, the inspectorate, to the community that has participated in watching and monitoring the implementation of the Village Funds.…”

“…Autonomy at the village level requires supports and development of management systems to encourage broader community involvement. For that reason, the government needs to create an honest, open, responsible, and democratic management pattern (Heinelt & Stolzenberg, 2014;Zerbinati, 2012). The village government must be able to apply the principle of accountability in its governance.…”

“…In line with the theoretical expectations, the EU funding process is the main underlying force that induces IMC (Zerbinati, 2012). A large majority of IMAs consider that collaboration emerged from the desire to acquire funds, unveiling an accommodation to EU-imposed rules and indicating a purely instrumental view of IMAs.…”

Intermunicipal cooperation is being increasingly adopted in various countries to cope with the dilemmas of territorial scale and resource rationing. Despite the pressures towards the reshaping of administrative boundaries, little is known about the capacity of intermunicipal associations to function as effective, legitimate and resilient policy actors. This article aims to contribute to this debate by addressing two interrelated dimensions. First, it seeks to present a conceptual definition of governance capacity, unpacking the conceptual framework into dimensions that can be measured systematically. Second, it aims to empirically assess the governance capacity of Portuguese intermunicipal associations, drawing on a unique survey of intermunicipal associations. Overall, results suggest that despite being instrumentally driven, intermunicipal associations have proven to be efficient, with members recognizing the benefits and the spillover effects of trustworthy arrangements. However, the path dependencies affecting Portuguese local governments may impact on the relatively low levels of governance capacity. Points for practitioners This article undertakes a conceptual analysis of the governance capacity of intermunicipal associations. This analytical framework can be crucial for leaders, practitioners and professionals working in management and administration especially those working in complex and demanding settings. Given the general trend towards intermunicipal cooperation – strongly encouraged by national and European regulations and reforms – practitioners need to be able to measure the capacity of the cooperative arrangements to be established and to be maintained. This article also strives to enlighten those professionals as to which dimensions mostly need to be strengthened so as to allow intelligent collective choices to be made and to set strategic directions for the allocation of (increasingly) scarce resources.

Networks of Innovation and Competitiveness: A Triple Helix Case Study

This paper aims to study the knowledge and technology transfer processes taking place in cooperation between academia and industry cooperation through an EUfunded R & D project. We follow a qualitative research methodology through a case study, incorporating interviews with the institutional actors involved (university, industry and government) in the cooperation project. While this study is limited to a case study, it does, however, highlight the importance of Triple Helix networks in order to develop research, development and innovation (RDI) initiatives and their commercialization and correspondingly enabling the identification of both potential opportunities and constraints in the process. Through the practical perspective of a successful Triple Helix cooperation case study, we were able to develop an innovative and continuous olive harvesting machine in order to satisfy a real need in the Mediterranean market. Inserted within the context of the triangulation of the Triple Helix model, this paper demonstrates the importance of RDI cooperation networks and the consequent commercialization of new tradable products with positive consequences to regional competitiveness.
