Abstract

The recent growth of transnational municipal networks requires a better understanding of their evolution. For some actors, this growth has resulted in arbitrary or top-down decisions on network membership followed by low commitment and inefficient use of time and financial resources. By reinterpreting secondary data through an evolutionary approach, this paper argues that the overall systemic nature of the networks is shaped not only by their institutional settings and the composition of actors but also by a set of specific qualities (coherence, boundedness and unified function) that may change over time. Based on the network perspective and system approach, the paper advances our understanding of transnational knowledge networks and the maximising of their effectiveness. Using exemplars, it suggests a conceptual framework for the evolution of transnational municipal knowledge networks.

跨国城市知识网络的演化
最近跨国城市网络的发展需要更好地了解它们的演变。对于一些参与者来说,这种增长导致了对网络成员的武断或自上而下的决定,随之而来的是低承诺和时间和财政资源的低效使用。通过一种进化的方法重新解释二手数据,本文认为,网络的整体系统性质不仅由其制度设置和参与者的组成决定,还由一系列可能随时间变化的特定品质(连贯性、有界性和统一功能)决定。本文基于网络视角和系统方法,提出了对跨国知识网络及其有效性最大化的认识。通过实例,本文提出了跨国城市知识网络演进的概念框架。
