From “Production” to “Platform” – Alternative Conceptions of Public Service Functions
What would happen if we started to see public services as platforms for functions well beyond their initial aims? While it is common to think that the goal of, for example, a hospital is to care fo
Managing portfolios of Co-creation projects in the public sector organization
While co-creation is becoming increasingly popular among public sector institutions to solve problems and create public value, the question is, how the public sector institution can be successful when engaged in multiple (and often overlapping/competing) co-creation initiatives. In this article, we examine the theoretical terms of co-creation, meta-governance and portfolio management to analyse how portfolios of co-creation projects are best mana…
Emergency management through enduring collaborative networks
This article explores the conditions that underpin networks as enduring collaborative relationships. To identify key features that sustain long‐term collaboration, we use the Norwegian system of emergency management as our empirical case. Norway is characterized by the important role played by volunteers and voluntary organizations as partners to the police in search and rescue operations. In particular, the article focuses on two possible explan…
Co-creating Democratic Legitimacy
The aim of the article is to discuss how and to what extent co-creation has the capacity to strengthen democratic legitimacy. By distinguishing between output-based and input-based co-creation, and by discussing types of legitimacy in relation to deliberative, participatory, and representative conceptions of democracy, the article points to potentials and pitfalls inherent in the idea of co-creation. Four examples from Denmark and Norway are used…
Folkevalgt og politisk leder
Folkevalgt og politisk leder tar utgangspunkt i at enhver folkevalgt politiker er en politisk leder. Boken handler om politisk lederskap i norske kommuner, og den diskuterer hvordan vi kan forstå denne formen for lederskap. Å fatte beslutninger er en viktig del av folkevalgtes hverdag, og den offentlige debatten kan gi inntrykk av at dette er selve essensen i det politiske lederskapet. Boken problematiserer dette, og den argumenterer for at polit…
Transforming the Public Sector Into an Arena for Co-Creation
This article explores whether co-creation offers a viable path for the public sector. After an initial account of the transformation of the public sector from a legal authority and a service provider to an arena of co-creation, it defines co-creation and provides some empirical examples. This is followed by a discussion of the risks and benefits of co-creation as well as the drivers and barriers that may stimulate or hamper its expansion. The art…
Taming wickedness
Theoretical literature suggests that the complex problems many local governments are facing are drivers towards innovation and new types of collaborative governance arrangements. We add nuance to this presumption by exploring how two Norwegian municipalities act when faced with problems related to mineral extraction and tax revenue. The article shows that similar types of problems give rise to significantly different strategies, ranging from coll…

Comparing local politicians’ and bureaucrats’ assessments of democratic participation
Given the increasing emphasis on delivery and output as a source of legitimacy for local government, how do politicians and civil servants perceive conventional, input-based channels for citizens’ influence on government in relationship to performance and output-oriented opportunities to influence public service? This article compares the attitudes of senior local politicians and civil servants in Norwegian and Swedish local authorities on these …
Exit and Voice in Local Government Reconsidered
Market‐based public management reform has introduced customer choice among competing providers of public services. Choice entails exit, an option which Albert Hirschman famously reserved for the market, while voice is the key mode of communication in political life. Based on elite and mass surveys, the article studies how exit is perceived by citizens and local political and administrative leaders in Norway and Sweden, and how the two strategic o…

Procedure or performance? Assessing citizen’s attitudes toward legitimacy in Swedish and Norwegian local government
A common understanding prevails that political systems generate legitimacy by both democratic procedures and performance in service production. With the increase of NPM models in local services, some scholars argue that performance is becoming a more important source of legitimacy than conventional legitimacy originating from the procedural side of governance. The aim of the article is to discuss and analyze the importance of and relation between…
Introduction
This special issue is devoted to a theme making its way up the local government research agenda – whether and to what degree local government in Europe derives its legitimacy increasingly from the
Financial Gains and Value Loss? The Impacts of Local Mixed Companies
Partnerships between public and private actors have a long history in Europe and USA. More recently, however, we have been witnessing an extensive use of these instruments, an increasing number of the purposes for which they are used, and a growing ambition to create more stable interactions, e.g. by institutionalizing partnerships as mixed companies. From a democratic perspective this development potentially creates problems in terms of steering…
Evaluating performance in urban development networks – the Nordic context
This article examines the performance of three urban development networks typical of the Nordic countries. While such networks generally are believed to produce effective solutions to the complex problems they are established to solve, not all networks perform well. In the three illustrative cases discussed in the article the stakeholders themselves, despite obvious lack of immediate results, seem to evaluate the networks in rather positive terms…
Introduction
Understanding Local Governance
The article discusses institutional forms of governance, understanding governance as hybrid forms of collaboration, involving government, market actors and/or civil society actors. By utilizing data from a study made of three Norwegian cities, six collaborative efforts are presented, and discussed in relation to analytical characteristics derived from both network theory and organizational theory. This analysis illustrates that these collaboratio…
