本文研究了民主实践与在协作空间中运作的机构设计之间的关系，协作空间是指多个公共、私人和非营利行为者联合起来制定、制定和实施公共政策的政策和空间领域。伙伴关系是合作制度设计的组织表现。它们提供了灵活性和利益相关者的参与，但与代议制民主制度松散地结合在一起。一个多方法的研究策略检查话语的影响管理主义，联合主义和参与在两个英国地方的伙伴关系的设计。分析伙伴关系中民主表现的客观衡量标准，并解释代议制民主机构早期实践的话语过渡，我们发现，合作的制度设计反映了话语之间的不同解决方案，体现在俱乐部、代理和政治形成伙伴关系类型之间的区别中。研究结果表明，协作空间的治理是如何通过一套主导的话语定义的制度实践来调解的。
This article investigates the relationship between democratic practices and the design of institutions operating in collaborative spaces, those policy and spatial domains where multiple public, private and non-profit actors join together to shape, make and implement public policy. Partnerships are organizational manifestations of institutional design for collaboration. They offer flexibility and stakeholder engagement, but are loosely coupled to representative democratic systems. A multi-method research strategy examines the impact of discourses of managerialism, consociationalism and participation on the design of partnerships in two UK localities. Analysing objective measures of democratic performance in partnerships and interpreting the discursive transition from earlier practices in representative democratic institutions we find that institutional designs for collaboration reflect different settlements between discourses, captured in the distinction between club, agency and polity-forming partnership types. The results show how the governance of collaborative spaces is mediated through a dominant set of discursively defined institutional practices.
