“…Elected officials in municipalities big and small tended to see multilevel policy involvement very similarly: as we have noted above, the difference in MPII scores across municipal populations is both substantively small and, in most specifications, statistically indistinguishable from zero. In contrast to “first‐generation” research on Canadian multilevel governance (Bradford and Bramwell , Horak ), which tended to assume that multilevel governance is a distinctively big city phenomenon, our pan‐Canadian survey demonstrates that, at the very least, local elected officials perceive multiple actors as involved in the public policy process across municipalities of all sizes.…”

Building on in‐depth case studies and extensive theory‐building by Canadian multilevel governance scholars, this article identifies and describes multilevel policy involvement by federal, provincial, municipal, private, and NGO actors in three policy phases and eighteen policy domains that specifically involve local governments in Canada. Drawing from an original pan‐Canadian survey of municipal mayors and councillors, we show that municipal politicians see multilevel policy involvement as remarkably prevalent across many policy domains. Using an original measure of multilevel policy involvement, we identify the policy domains in which policy involvement is most concentrated or fragmented and then describe the correlates of this measure. Multilevel policy involvement, we argue, is more clearly associated with policy phase and policy domain than with municipal population or region. We conclude with a discussion of implications for future research.

“…The knowledgebased economy finds many cities reinventing their industrial base and seeking growth paths more socially inclusive and ecologically sustainable than those contemplated by either the growth machine or development regime (Stone 2008). "Idea generators" are entering the urban policy fray, ranging from nonprofit intermediaries and community foundations to business associations and academic partnerships (Bradford and Bramwell 2014). The conversation is substantive-exploring conceptions of urban development that balance the economic, social, and ecological dimensions of growth.…”

In recent years, interest has grown in collaboration in public policy. Responding to the complex issues now playing out in cities, scholars are focusing on localized governance relations that blur boundaries between public, private, and community sectors. This article introduces discursive localism as a framework to understand better collaborative urban governance. It argues that ideas play a pivotal role in motivating collective action, channeling policy resources, and shaping governance relations. Although recent urban-focused accounts of collective action suggest a role for ideas, systematic attention to their normative-philosophical and cognitive-programmatic dimensions reveals how different policy discourses frame incentives and institutions for collaboration. Applying discursive localism to Toronto, Canada, the article describes change processes across three complex policy fields. Governance arrangements are argued to flow from the operative policy discourses, especially whether their normative and cognitive dimensions are integrated, dissociated, or fragmented.

“…L'hypothèse de cette stratégie est que la proximité pourrait engendrer des dynamiques de reconversion économique basées sur la collaboration, créant ainsi des emplois et renversant les tendances qui dévitalisent la structure économique des collectivités locales. Cette approche voit le milieu social et les acteurs représentatifs de la société civile comme des ingrédients importants des modalités de gouvernance inclusive susceptibles d'assurer la compétitivité des territoires (Braczyk, Cooke, Heidenreich, 1998;Wolfe, 2014) et de façonner des milieux locaux socialement innovateurs (Bradford et Bramwell, 2014;Moulaert et Nussbaumer, 2014).…”
