Modeling Alternative Collaborative Governance Network Designs
With the widespread use of collaborative governance mechanisms for mitigating water pollution, an opportunity exists to test alternative institutional designs based on collaborative governance theory using computer simulation models, particularly when there is a clear relationship between governance networks, observable resource allocation decisions, and measurable outcomes. This is especially the case for wicked problems like nonpoint source wat…
Ensuring Compliance From 35,000 Feet
A puzzle that faces public administrators within regulatory networks is how to balance the need for public or democratic accountability with increasing demands from interest groups and elected officials to utilize the expertise of the private sector in developing process-oriented programs that ensure compliance. This article builds upon the network governance accountability framework developed by Koliba, Mills, and Zia to explore the dominant acc…
Civil society organization accountability within governance networks
This chapter explores the respective roles of two specific governance bodies, namely the board and the general assembly, in the governance process.

The chapter contains a conceptual framework to understand the different dimensions of civil society organisation (CSO) governance. It also explains a coercive board mechanism of governance suggests the…
The challenge of accountability in complex regulatory networks
A puzzle that faces public administrators within regulatory governance networks is how to balance the need for democratic accountability while increasingly facing demands from elected officials to optimize oversight of industry by utilizing the expertise of the private sector in developing risk‐based standards for compliance. The shift from traditional command and control oversight to process oriented regulatory regimes has been most pronounced i…
Accountability in Governance Networks
What is the most effective framework for analyzing complex accountability challenges within governing networks? Recognizing the multiscale and intersector (public, private, and nonprofit) characteristics of these networks, an accountability model is advanced organized around democratic (elected representatives, citizens, and the legal system), market (owners and consumers), as well as administrative (bureaucratic, professional and collaborative) …
On Sharpening Knives & Governing Networks
Inquiry as Intervention
Social science can be practiced as a decidedly action-oriented and applied phenomenon, in particular within the context of organizational change and development. These practices are often prefaced by assumptions concerning the social construction of reality, the role of the researcher as an active agent for change, and the capacity of organizations to learn. This article recounts the attempts of social science researchers to employ an action rese…
Serving the Public Interest Across Sectors
Moral Language and Networks of Engagement
Central to the themes of much of the literature on the relationship between service learning and civic responsibility lies the question of whether the environments in which service-learning experiences take place are capable of becoming settings in which the meaning of public life is deliberated and acted on. This article asserts that the service learning experienced by a small sample of students drawn from a series of in-depth qualitative case s…
