Creating Collaborative Advantage through Better Network Governance: A Comparative Study of New Institutions and Instruments.

通过利用在社区层面运作的不同政府和服务提供机构的内在资源，并消除它们之间代价高昂的边界问题，政府可以以更全面和灵活的方式满足公民的需求。但要以一种连贯的方式做到这一点，就有必要制定新的制度规则和组织流程，使各机构能够开展合作，而不必担心减少问责制或挪用公共资金。该项目将研究在一些国际领先案例中使用的结构和过程，以提高澳大利亚在为公民和机构获得合作优势方面的表现。

By harnessing the embedded resources of different government and service delivery organisations operating at community level, and by removing costly boundary problems between them, governments can address the needs of citizens in a more wholistic and flexible manner. But to do this in a coherent way it is necessary to develop new institutional rules and organisational processes to allow agencies to collaborate without fear of reduced accountability or syphoning of public funds. The project will examine the structures and processes used in a selection of leading international cases in order to improve Australia's performance in gaining a collaborative advantage for citizens and agencies.
