Empirical Contribution

There has been much debate about the contribution of ‘design thinking’ to the fields of public policy and governance. This article makes an empirical contribution to this debate by examining the Organised Crime Field Lab ‐ an environment for experimenting with, learning about and innovating in collaborative governance. The study involved working with 18 different multi-agency collaborations involving over 160 professionals as they developed novel approaches to fighting organised crime. Combining quasi-experimental and action research methods, our analysis offers valuable insights into how an environment can be designed that creates the conditions to support collaborations in overcoming the most common challenges in their design process. In particular, we find that a specially designed environment including a structured but flexible problem-solving space, an inclusive facilitative process and a custom-made accountability structure can support collaborative design processes.

The Relationship

This paper examines the basic values of collaborative governance based on theoretical studies and empirical facts in an integrative manner. The starting point study of the relationship between stakeholders in each stage of public policy is increasingly complex. Based on this complexity, studies on governance also experience dynamics. The collaborative framework in governance provides a meaning that is more than just governance. Collaborative governance is a concept in public policy that has developed in the last few decades. In principle, the collaborative is different from the network as well as the partnership. There is an essential value attached to it. Henceforth, it becomes part of its characteristics. The basic values referred to are consensus orientation, collective leadership, multidirectional communication, and resource sharing. The four basic values are integrated into one integrated process in any collaborative governance action.

Common Problems

This paper aims to establish whether collaborative governance may be a useful concept in Croatian local government and what barriers might prevent Croatian ULGs from developing such models. Recent research has shown that some ULGs in Croatia are more successful than others in terms of financial management and resource allocation, which may be due to better quality of civil servants working in local government and increased participation of citizens in public policy making but also to some form of collaborative governance. The second case also offers a possibility of achieving higher level of citizen satisfaction with local government on the basis of results, although this satisfaction is not necessarily linked to achieving proclaimed policy objectives or transparency and openness. In the case of e-governance we also assess the technological development of ULGs as a precondition for dynamic communication needed for collaboration. We find that in some cases the achievement of public good and community goals are due to better leadership and creating trust and in some others due to better participation in policies and involvement of citizens in common problems, such as unemployment. Barriers are detected by studying the most and least successful ULGs.

Security Governance

As a national security thought in the new era, the overall national security concept contains rich security governance theory and practical experience, which provides a scientific guide and program for the development of various security work in China. Rural ecological security, as an organic component of overall national security, interpenetrates and interacts with other areas of security, and counteracts the realization of overall national security. Based on the overall national security concept, the rural ecological security construction should adhere to the bottom line thinking, people-oriented, innovation-oriented and rule of law, and conceive an optimized path in the aspects of pre-prevention, public demand, talent integration, collaborative governance, technical means and legal system construction, which is of great significance to national development and people’s lives.
