为什么有些伙伴关系能够成功，而另一些却失败了？关于成功建立伙伴关系的条件已有很多文章，但政策问题本身的性质很少成为这场辩论的中心。本文借鉴马里兰州巴尔的摩食品政策制定倡议的定性研究，探讨了食品作为政策主题的“号召力”，以及横向伙伴关系中公民资本与城市增长政治之间的关系。本文借鉴内勒斯的城市间合作框架以及洛根和莫洛奇的城市增长机器模型，提出了成功建立伙伴关系的一系列条件，详细阐述了推动城市公民资本的基本城市增长共识。巴尔的摩的粮食政策工作表明，当一项举措能够产生交换价值和使用价值时，政策问题可能会表现出更大的“合作性”，从而广泛吸引当地增长联盟和其他利益相关者。
Why do some partnerships form successfully while others fail? Much has been written about the conditions for successful partnership formation, however the qualities of the policy issue itself have rarely been central to this debate. Drawing on qualitative research about a food policymaking initiative in Baltimore, Maryland, this article explores the 'convening power' of food as a policy topic, and the relationship between civic capital and the politics of urban growth in horizontal partnerships. Drawing from Nelles' framework for inter-municipal cooperation, and Logan and Molotch's urban growth machine model, the article presents a set of conditions for successful partnership formation that elaborates on the underlying urban growth consensus that drives civic capital in the city. Baltimore's food policy efforts suggest that a policy issue may show greater 'partnerability' when an initiative can generate both exchange and use value, thereby appealing widely to the local growth coalition and other stakeholders.
