Civic festivals offer an exceptional laboratory for the study of collaborative governance because these events are ubiquitous and are characterized by public and private partners engaged in joint activity. Using the Carnival festival of Salvador, Brazil, as an example, we analyze the current models of collaborative governance to determine whether they apply to the context of large civic festivals. Drawing primarily on Ansell and Gash’s (2008) model, our qualitative analysis shows that some constructs of collaborative governance models are present. However, our results uncover other factors affecting the collaboration process such as informal relationships and the basis of decision-making. Our results also suggest that trust, a factor commonly argued as necessary to collaborative action, may be less critical than received theories suggest. Points for practitioners Large civic festivals are a unique laboratory for studying inter-organizational collaboration because these events normally involve a myriad of public and private actors working in an interdependent fashion. Our study reveals some factors not covered by previous research that influence the dynamics of collaboration. We observe that repeated interactions between technical experts can foster informal (and effective) networks of collaboration and circumvent the problems generated by political disputes. The bases on which decisions are taken are also important factors to enhance collaboration. We found that trust, a factor commonly argued as necessary to collaborative action, may be less critical than received theories suggest.

The most important phenomena attributable to the project of “global administrative law” (GAL) consists of rules, principles, practices, or procedures that have a more informal character and are generated from networks of public and private actors. The main characteristics of those rules is that they tend to be generated below the level of formal international treaties and that norm production occurs—at least in part—outside traditional formal modes of decision-making. However, some GAL norms including standards on products and services in particular, can have far reaching consequences as their factual weight is much more influential than domestic norms. GAL also develops new forms of procedure (e.g., voting) that are different from traditional international forms.

This article has three objectives. The first is to show that while co-production was originally tied to service production, co-creation has broader applications in the field of public governance and involves a broader range of actors and activities. The second objective is to demonstrate how the co-creation concept both builds on and extends the concept of collaborative governance, thus adding new dimensions to an already well-established literature. The final objective is to show how a strategic turn to co-creation introduces a new type of ‘generative governance’ aimed at solving complex problems by constructing platforms enabling the formation of arenas for co-creation that bring together a plethora of public and private actors, including citizens, in creative problem-solving processes. The three objectives are achieved through prospective theoretical analysis aimed at providing a conceptual foundation for analysing cutting-edge societal developments that are not yet commonplace.

Laburpena: Espainiako erakundeen testuinguruan lankidetza publiko-pribatuak arrakasta izan duen hiru kasu ditu aztergai artikulu honek. Adibide horiek erakusten dute mota horretako lankidetza berrikuntza-bektore argia dela administrazio publikoetan datozen hamarkadetan sortuko diren erronka handiei aurre egiteko. Lankidetzaren eta berrikuntzaren arteko lotura aztertu dugu, gure abiapuntua izanik lankidetza publiko-pribatua zer den definitzen eta haren perimetroa mugatzen duen esparru teorikoa: lankidetza hori diskrezionalitate partekatuaren kontzeptuaren barruan sartzen dugu, eta horrek berekin dakar eragile publikoek eta pribatuek erabakiak elkarrekin hartzeko gaitasuna izan beharra, lankidetza diseinatzeko, ezartzeko eta ebaluatzeko orduan, harreman egonkor batean erantzukizunak eta arriskuak partekatuz. Hautatutako hiru kasuak oinarri hartuta, alegia, etxebizitza-eskubidea bermatzea helburu duen Bartzelonako co-housing programa, Madrid Foro Empresa delakoaren inguruko enpresen parte-hartzea eta Alianza Shire, errefuxiatuei energia eskuratzeko aukera emateko nazioarteko lankidetza-programa, erakutsi dugu elkarlaneko gobernantza-eredu honek berrikuntza sustatzeko bide ematen duela, balio publikoa sortze aldera. Resumen: Este artículo analiza, en el contexto institucional español, tres casos de éxito de colaboración público-privada formalizada que muestran que este tipo de colaboraciones son un claro vector de innovación ante los enormes retos que las Administraciones Públicas deben afrontar en las próximas décadas. Partiendo de un marco teórico que define y limita el perímetro de lo que debemos entender por colaboración público-privada, emmarcándola dentro del concepto de discrecionalidad compartida que implica la capacidad de co-decisión entre los actores públicos y privados en el diseño, implementación y evaluación de la colaboración, compartiendo responsabilidades y riesgos en un marco de relación estable, exploramos el link entre colaboración e innovación. En los tres casos seleccionados, el programa de co-housing de Barcelona para garantizar el derecho a la vivienda, la participación empresarial articulada alrededor de Madrid Foro Empresa y Alianza Shire, un programa de cooperación internacional para dar acceso a la energía a la población refugiada, mostramos como este modelo de gobernanza colaborativa permite fomentar la innovación para la creación de valor público. Abstract: This article analyses, in the Spanish institutional context, three successful cases of formalized public-private partnerships that show that this type of collaboration is a clear vector of innovation to face the enormous challenges Public Administrations need to face in the forthcoming decades. After establishing a theoretical framework that defines and limits the perimeter of what we should understand by a public-private partnership, framing it within the concept of shared discretion that implies the capacity for co-decision between public and private actors in the design, implementing and evaluating of the collaboration, sharing responsibilities and risks in a framework of a stable relationship, we explore the link between collaboration and innovation. In the three selected case studies, the co-housing program of Barcelona to guarantee the right to housing, the business participation articulated around Madrid Foro Empresa and Alianza Shire, an international cooperation program to guarantee energy access to refugees, we show how this model of collaborative governance allows us to foster innovation for creating public value.

PurposeAchieving the win–win goal in public–private partnership (PPP) has gained much research interest in recent times. These studies have addressed the achievement of win–win from various perspectives. An integration of the constructs from these various perspectives improves approach to attaining win–win throughout the entire project delivery. This study, therefore, becomes the first systematic review to analyse PPP studies towards identifying win–win constructs and then integrates findings into a conceptual model.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted a four-staged systematic review method. This includes concept development, papers retrieval, selection of relevant papers and qualitative analysis. Thematic analysis was used at the qualitative analysis stage for the identification and categorization of constructs and finally, systems thinking was adopted in integrating the findings into a conceptual modeFindingsThe achievement of win–win between government and private investors is of much desire hence a more conscious approach towards it is ideal. A total of 40 constructs were identified and were later categorised into six components. Some constructs identified include optimal assessment and fair allocation of project risks, reasonable concessions period, flexible contracting, equal and active participation and co-ordination of public and private actors and strategic negotiation.Originality/valueThis paper provides an improved definition of win–win scenario in PPP infrastructure project delivery. Furthermore, the novel approach of integrating win–win constructs into a systemic conceptual model is very relevant to PPP body of knowledge and practice. The study concludes with plausible research directions to further improve the achievement of win–win in PPP.

Many countries grapple with the intractable problem of formalizing tenure security. The concept of ‘fit-for-purpose land administration’ (FFPLA) offers a way forward by advocating a shift towards a more flexible, pragmatic and inclusive approach for land rights recording. Inherently, the process and outcome of implementing FFPLA will have significant socio-political ramifications but these have not received much attention in the literature; additionally, few papers have considered this in the context of decentralization, an endorsed strategy for implementing FFPLA. This paper contributes to this gap by critically analyzing three land formalization initiatives in India which have employed flexible recording approaches and where decentralization is used to scale implementation. The cases show how quickly decentralization can kickstart implementation at scale via collaborations with local governing bodies and partnerships with non-state actors. An institutionalist approach highlights ensuing political contests between new and traditional land actors that inhibit political authority, and the challenges of coordinating a network of public and private actors without clear formal collaborative governance structures to ensure democratic outcomes. In doing so, we contribute to governance knowledge around FFPLA implementation so that it is ‘fit-for-people’ and better able to support policies and processes to secure land rights at scale.

This research is motivated by a decline in motorcycle sales produced by PT. Yamaha Indonesia MFG in the 2014-2018 period. In this research there was a decrease in the decision on the power of interest in customer purchases on PT. Yamaha Indonesia MFG so that later can be analyzed in the formulation of this paper, that how customer take motorcycle purchase decisions amid the phenomenon of competition and increasingly crowded sales rivalries. The purpose of this research was to analyze the influence of motivation, perceived quality, and customer attitudes toward decisions in purchasing Yamaha motorbikes. This research uses quantitative and qualitative methods. The respondents in this research were 100 people who could meet one to five criteria consisting of; initiator (initiator), influencer (influencer), decision making (decider), purchase (buyer), user (user) motorcycle production PT. Yamaha Indonesia MFG. There are 3 hypotheses formulated and tested using the Regression Analysis method. In qualitative analysis it is obtained from the interpretation of processing data by providing information and explanation. In the results of this research shows the results of Motivation, Quality Perception, and Customer Attitudes have a relationship that has a significant impact on Purchasing Decisions.

Background. The organization of clinical trials (CTs) requires the participation and coordination of healthcare providers, patients, public and private parties. Obstacles to the participation of any of these groups pose a risk of lowering the potential for the implementation of CTs. Researchers are a key human resource in conducting of CT. Their motivation for participation can have a significant impact on the recruitment and retention of patients, on the quality of the data collected, which determines the overall outcome of the study. Aims to assess the factors affecting the inclusion of Russian physicians-researchers in CT, and to determine their role in relations with patients-participants. Materials and methods. The study was organized as a part of the Russian multicenter face-to-face study. A survey was conducted of researchers from 10 cities of Russia (20172018). The participation in the survey for doctors was anonymous and voluntary. Results. The study involved 78 respondents. Most research doctors highly value the importance of research for science (4,84 0,39), society (4,67 0,46) and slightly lower for participating patients (4,44 0,61). The expectations of medical researchers are related to improving their financial situation and attaining new experience (n = 14; 18,18%). However, the opportunity to work with new technologies of treatment and diagnosis (n = 41; 52,56%) acted as a motivating factor. According to the questionnaire, the vast majority of research doctors (n = 29; 37,18%) believe that the main reason for patients to participate in CT is to receive quality and free medical care. The most significant obstacle to the inclusion of participants in CT was the side effects of the study drug (n = 38; 48,71%). Conclusions. The potential of clinical researchers in Russia is very high. The patient-participant acts for the research doctor as the subject of the study, and not the object, so the well-being of the patient is not indifferent to the doctor. However, the features of the functioning of our health care system form the motivation of doctors-researchers (additional earnings, professional self-development) and the way they perceive the motivation of patients (CT as an opportunity to receive quality medical care).
