Winner of the 2003 Louis Brownlow Book AwardLocal governments do
not stand alone -- they find themselves in new relationships not
only with state and federal government, but often with a widening
spectrum of other public and private organizations as well. The
result of this re-forming of local governments calls for new
collaborations and managerial responses that occur in addition to
governmental and bureaucratic processes-as-usual, bringing locally
generated strategies or what the authors call "jurisdiction-based
management" into play.Based on an extensive study of 237 cities
within five states, Collaborative Public Management provides an
in-depth look at how city officials work with other governments and
organizations to develop their city economies and what makes these
collaborations work. Exploring the more complex nature of
collaboration across jurisdictions, governments, and sectors,
Agranoff and McGuire illustrate how public managers address complex
problems through strategic partnerships, networks, contractual
relationships, alliances, committees, coalitions, consortia, and
councils as they function together to meet public demands through
other government agencies, nonprofit associations, for-profit
entities, and many other types of nongovernmental
organizations.Beyond the "how" and "why," Collaborative Public
Management identifies the importance of different managerial
approaches by breaking them down into parts and sequences, and
describing the many kinds of collaborative activities and processes
that allow local governments to function in new ways to address the
most nettlesome public challenges.
