Navigating growing complexityadvancements in collaborative governance

Resumo

This thesis comprises three independent yet interconnected articles that explore how innovative approaches to collaborative governance navigate the growing complexity of contemporary challenges. The first and second articles focus on collaborative platforms, which extend collaborative governance by facilitating multiple ongoing collaborative projects or networks. These platforms offer an innovative governance strategy to address complex and unpredictable crises in an increasingly turbulent world, enabling rapid scalability and flexible approaches to collaboration. The first article conducts a systematic review of the literature on collaborative platforms, employing bibliometric and thematic analyses of 72 publications from 2018 to 2022. It reveals an expanding scholarly landscape, highlighting the effectiveness of collaborative platforms in scaling up collaborative governance and in serving as intermediaries, while observing a tendency toward excessive optimism. The second article examines the impact of the Amazon Fund collaborative platform on sustainable production in the Brazilian Amazon. Utilizing panel data from 2003 to 2017 and focusing on municipalities within the Brazilian Legal Amazon, the study employs a difference-in-differences approach to assess the effects of the Amazon Fund on forest and agroforestry-related production. The results demonstrate positive, albeit gradual increases in sustainable production. They enjoin the use of collaborative platforms for fostering bioeconomy value chains in the Amazon. The third article, formulated in collaboration with Professor Gregory Michener and published in Public Management Review (DOI: 10.1080/14719037.2023.2230231), delves into the concept of compensatory collaborative governance (CCG), which represents collaborative governance initiatives aimed at compensating for the lack of government commitments in advancing public policy implementation. Drawing on paired qualitative case studies involving Brazilian Consortium of Press Outlets and the US-based Covid Tracking Project during the COVID-19 pandemic, this article explores the emergence of CCG, the mechanisms by which it compensated for deficient governance, and its alignment with existing conceptualizations of collaborative governance. Initiatives in both countries addressed critical informational gaps left by federal authorities who failed to meet transparency obligations during the pandemic. These CCGs effectively 'governed' federal public transparency during the crisis. Together, the articles demonstrate that collaborative governance remains relevant in addressing current issues in an increasingly complex world. The articles jointly provide a multifaceted understanding of collaborative governance, both in theory and in practice. Collectively, they demonstrate that collaborative governance, through its advancements, remains relevant in addressing current issues in an increasingly complex world. In this sense, this presentation of studies is intended to make a significant contribution to a field of study that is continuously evolving and remains highly relevant—a field dedicated to negotiating complex administrative challenges.
