Governments worldwide struggle to remove policy deadlocks and enact
much-needed reforms in organizational structure and public
services. In this book, Jacob Torfing explores collaborative
innovation as a way for public and private stakeholders to break
the impasse. These network-based collaborations promise to multiply
the skills, ideas, energy, and resources between government and its
partners across agency boundaries and in the nonprofit and private
sectors. Torfing draws on his own pioneering work in Europe as well
as examples from the United States and Australia to construct a
cross-disciplinary framework for studying collaborative innovation.
His analysis explores its complex and interactive processes as he
looks at how drivers and barriers may enhance or impede the
collaborative approach. He also reflects on the roles institutional
design, public management, and governance reform play in spurring
collaboration for public sector innovation. The result is a
theoretically and empirically informed book that carefully
demonstrates how multi-actor collaboration can enhance public
innovation in the face of fiscal constraint, the proliferation of
wicked problems, and the presence of unsatisfied social needs.
