A LONG, WINDING AND STEEP ROAD FOR COLLABORATIVE GOVERNANCE IN INDONESIA

Abstract

This paper discusses whether collaborative governance always has positive impacts for inclusive policy-making processes and it also has positive effects on performance, success, and sustainability of policies as argued by its supporters? This paper argues that the argument is not always correct. Although collaborative governance has the potential impact to produce creative problem solving through consensus of parties involved and to create public value and innovation, the concept has also the opportunity to be hampered and thus cannot achieve the expected positive outcomes, due to several challenges and/or obstacles.
