Abstract

Collaborative governance initiatives often seek innovative solutions to longstanding policy dilemmas, as well as agreements on those solutions among longtime political adversaries. Producing both innovations and agreements in combination is difficult: the diversity among collaborators that enable innovations can complicate their attempts to reach agreements, while unifying factors that support agreements may diminish the prospects for innovation. This article introduces three phases of collaborative agreement and pinpoints drivers of agreements on collaborative innovations. We analyze how each driver connects to the cross-pressure between unity and diversity in collaborative governance and generate propositions that relate each driver to the production of different phases of agreements. Our propositions indicate that collaborators seeking agreements on innovations must strike a balance between factors that support innovations (but may hinder agreements) and factors that support agreements (but may hinder innovations). We recommend ways practitioners can foster and sustain that balance by varying rules governing collaborative participation, information discovery, deliberation, and decisions. We conclude by proposing new research using our conceptual refinements to study whether specific conditions surrounding collaboration are associated with the achievement of different phases of agreement on collaborative innovations.
协同治理中的协议生成与创新
协作治理计划经常为长期的政策困境寻求创新的解决方案,并在长期的政治对手之间就这些解决方案达成协议。同时产生创新和协议是困难的:促成创新的合作者之间的多样性会使他们达成协议的努力复杂化,而支持协议的统一因素可能会削弱创新的前景。本文介绍了协同创新协议的三个阶段,指出了协同创新协议的驱动因素。我们分析了每个驱动因素是如何与协作治理中统一和多样性之间的交叉压力联系起来的,并提出了将每个驱动因素与协议的不同阶段的产生联系起来的命题。我们的命题表明,寻求创新协议的合作者必须在支持创新(但可能阻碍协议)和支持协议(但可能阻碍创新)的因素之间取得平衡。我们推荐从业人员可以通过管理协作参与、信息发现、审议和决策的不同规则来促进和维持这种平衡的方法。最后,我们提出了一项新的研究,利用我们的概念改进来研究围绕合作的特定条件是否与达成合作创新协议的不同阶段有关。
