Public Organization Review Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Bibliometry is an important tool to analyze the development of academic studies in the international field. In the present study, 204 articles were analyzed, on which quantitative and qualitative methods were used. For data collection, the web of science database was used, based on the selection of “collaborative governance” topics as the search word. As main results, the study demonstrated that dialogue and leadership are essential to create and maintain a model of long-term collaborative governance. The collaborative governance climate is full of negotiations aimed at achieving an interlinked understanding for new opportunities and learning that can become innovations.
