Abstract Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are a relatively new phenomenon in Kazakh-stan – their development began in 2005 in the transport and energy sectors. Initially sluggish growth transformed into rapid PPP deployment from 2016 to 2019 when hundreds of PPPs were launched in many industries (infrastructure, hospitals, schools), which was in sharp contrast to just a handful of PPPs formed prior to 2016. Rapid PPP deployment raised deep concerns whether the government’s supporting schemes and PPP launch procedures are appropriate and whether they may backfire for the government in the form of increasing debt. This paper aims to investigate the enablers and implications of accelerated PPP formation. The study is based on semi-structured in-depth interviews with a range of actors in the field, including PPP operators (railroad, energy company, kindergarten), regional and local governments, national and regional PPP centres, lawyers and private investors, which afforded an opportunity to mitigate bias in opinions. The study has identified three principal enablers: simplified procedures for a PPP launch, pressure exerted on regional governments, and extensive government financial support to PPPs. By making use of agency theory, property rights theory and the value-for-money concept, the paper offers a conceptualisation of rapid PPP growth in Kazakhstan in recent years and argues that growth was disproportionally fast and unintended. Policy implications include a need to re-establish the value-for-money approach to PPP formation, a significant increase in government liabilities to PPPs, and a misconception regarding the role of PPP collaborative governance.

Access Rights

New forms of urban gardening are gaining a momentum in cities transforming the conventional use and functions of open green and public space. They often take place through informal and temporary (re)use of vacant land consisting part of greening strategies or social inclusion policy through new modes of land use management, green space governance and collaborative practices. Particular emphasis is placed on shifted meanings of the notion of open public space by referring to its openness to a diversity of uses and users that claim it and relates to the questions of access rights, power relations among actors, negotiations and the so called right to use and re-appropriate land. By using examples drawn from the Greek and Swiss case, this chapter underlines differences and similarities in urban gardening practices, social and institutional contexts, collaborative governance patterns, motivations, levels of institutionalisation, openness and inclusiveness of space. More specifically it calls attention to the critical role of the temporary nature of these initiatives in relation to their multifunctional, spatial and socio-political aspects that affect new configurations of urban green areas and public space as well as related planning practices.

Bureaucratic Reform

Convensional model of public policy makings in Sambas district, West Borneo Province, so far rely more on the strength of institutional structures and elites with less open processes. The impact in many case of planning has failed to identify and accommodate governance issues. This research uses qualitative explorative methods which are assisted with soft system methodology as suggester by Checkland (1999). Analysis of research uses collaborative governance theory in looking at the process of preparation of regional medium term development plan (RPJMD) of 2016-2021. Result of this research illustrates that the failure in the preparation of planning for this is caused by access to stakeholder involvement that is limited, the role of the government is very dominant so that RPJMD is not considered as a shared commitment and responsibility, the implication of each party working independently in accordance with their respective interest. It is also apparent that the process of preparing planning has not been sufficient to meet accessability and drivers in the form of citizen's education and lack of seriousness in the implementation of bureaucratic reform to become an implementative reference for the formation of participatory policy making according to the perspective of collaborative governance in regions with similar characteristics.

Scale is an overlooked issue in the research on interactive governance. This book takes up the important task of investigating the scalar dimensions of collaborative governance in networks, partnerships, and other interactive arenas and explores the challenges of operating at a single scale, across or at multiple scales and of moving between scales. The introductory chapter presents a general framework for thinking about the scale of collaborative governance and for conceptualizing dynamic processes of scaling. These general ideas provide the basis for examining the role of scale and scaling in a wide range of policy areas, including employment policy, water management, transportation planning, public health, university governance, artistic markets, child welfare and humanitarian relief. Cases are drawn from Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America and span all levels from local to global. Together, the theoretical framework and the empirical case studies sensitize us to the tensions that arise between scales of governance and to the challenges of shifting from one scale of governance to another.

Tourism Governance

This research recommends governance-based collaborative governance recommends models of governance-based collaborative governance through the role of community groups of local community entrepreneurs. This model is created from the weaknesses of the conventional Community Based Tourism (CBT) model through the role of 3 CBT sectors (government, private, non-profit organizations) that often run independently, sporadic, non-continuous coordination, and local community involvement which often overlooked in tourism of its own territory. The implications are seen in the economic success enjoyed only by people from outside the region. This article describes Pekon Teluk Kiluan, which is one of the leading coastal tourist areas in Lampung Province with coastal tourism base, education, and culture. The object of study is directed to the analysis of collaborative communities as a prerequisite for the reform of tourism governance and the reform of the development of a model of tourism management that is not only sided with local communities but also generates positive economics, financial independence, social preservation, culture and nature (environment). The research method is done qualitatively descriptive. Data collected from private tourism, NGO, government, entrepreneur, community group by using questionnaire technique, interview, observation, documentation, and  processed by using interactive model.

This research aims to learn the role of each government agency and community involved in the policy program for reducing maternal and infant mortality rate in Jember district. Then hope to come up with recommendations for strengthening the role of stakeholders in an effort to realize good governance. Given that in 2012, Jember district was listed as the district with the highest IMR and MMR in East Java. One of the collaborative policy programs launched to reduce the high IMR and MMR in Jember Regency is the Copy of Decision of Jember Regent Number: 188.45 / 101.1 / 012/2015 About Perinatal Maternal Audit Team of Jember Regency Year 2015. The descriptive qualitative research method used (before the C19 pandemic) was in-depth interviews, three FGDs with stakeholders. Data analysis by Spreadly analysis (taxonomic analysis, component analysis and cultural themes). The results showed that the ego-centricity  of each government  institution was  still very prominent,  and  community participation was still mobilizing. Thus, efforts to strengthen collaborative governance roles are needed through the role of leading actors who are strongly committed to directing, controlling and monitoring policy programs that have been made.

A number of definitions related to collaborative governance have been developed since early 2000. The common characteristics of collaborative governance are, among others, policy consensus, community visioning, consensus rule-making, and collaborative network structures. Collaborative planning is a new paradigm of planning for a complex contemporary society through which it encourages people to be engaged in a dialogue in a situation of equal empowerment and shared information to learn new ideas through mutual understanding, to create innovative outcomes and to build institutional capacity. This indicates that collaborative planning can provide policy makers with more effective community participation. Collaborative process is the key of collaborative planning which also emphasizes the significant role of collaborative leadership. The process includes a participatory activity of dialogue oriented to the joint decision and summarized in a collaborative process. The collaborative leadership is crucial for setting and maintaining clear ground rules, building trust, facilitating dialogue, and exploring mutual gains. Along with the shift of planning paradigm, the role of city planner will also change since the city planning deals with the political process. In the political process, city planners must be able to perform as technocrats, bureaucrats, lawyers and politicians who always uphold their ethics because they are responsible to the society, the assignor for their integrity and professionalism.

Child Injury Prevention

Abstract Introduction The complexity of injury and the multi-sectoral nature of its prevention demands a whole-of-society approach. Engaging with civil society in a form of collaborative governance is central to this approach. Civil society, defined as neither state, nor market, nor family, includes organisations such as advocacy groups, charities, professional associations etc. This study looks at the role of civil society organisations in the implementation of child injury prevention interventions in Europe. Methods The method was built upon an existing approach, known as ’organigraphs’. Mintzberg and van der Heyden developed the approach to depict how organisations actually work. We further developed its practical application to explore how interventions in child safety are developed, implemented and monitored across the local, regional, national and EU levels. Professionals working in child safety in 25 European countries were asked to draw organigraphs for an intervention in one of four child injury domains: road, water, home safety or intentional injury prevention. The analysis focused on the action surrounding civil society actors, represented by the connectors leading to and from those actors. Results We received 44 organigraphs in total from 31 participants in 24 countries; nine for intentional injury prevention, nine for water safety, 12 for road safety and 14 for home safety. Civil society actors were present in the majority of Organigraphs and they played multiple and diverse roles including: ’advising’, ’funding’ and ’implementing’ child safety initiatives. Conclusions The role of civil society, described in this data set, appears to be relatively well-developed. Strong, functional and long-standing partnerships between civil society actors across policy sectors and government may lead to greater capacity to address the complexity of child injury. Key messages Effective child injury prevention requires multi-sectoral action to address its complexity. Stakeholders come from the public and private sector and from civil society. Greater engagement with civil society may represent an opportunity for countries and regions to improve their response to the challenges of injury prevention among children.
