Collaborative governance in energy regions – Experiences from an Austrian region

Collaborative governance in handling natural and non-natural disasters based on the perspective of public administration: Evidence from Indonesia

“…Meanwhile, in natural disasters, the collaboration has a low commitment among stakeholders involved such as the government, business actors, and partners such as banks, pawnshops, etc. The role of stakeholders is vital in collaborative governance (Sedlacek et al, 2020). The role of government, trust in stakeholders, and the use of government and community knowledge are key in strengthening collaborative mechanisms (Ishiwatari, 2019 The low commitment in governance can be seen in the COVID-19 pandemic in which many business actors do not comply with government regulations or health protocols causing more difficulties for government to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, especially in Palu City.…”

Can regional integration narrow city-level energy efficiency gap in China?

“…Second, regional integration has also promoted the influx of high-efficiency enterprises into core cities to obtain technology spillover effects from the tertiary industry, especially the production services sector, which leads to further improvements in the energy efficiency of core cities (Dong et al, 2019). At the same time, increased labor costs and land rent in core cities make low-efficiency companies more willing to move to peripheral cities, thereby reducing the energy efficiency of peripheral cities (Sedlacek et al, 2020). As such, the selection effect of regional integration leads to the increase in the energy efficiency of core cities and the decline in energy efficiency in peripheral cities.…”

“…When regional integration is in the initial stage, the agglomeration effect is higher than the selection effect, so that the energy efficiency of peripheral cities experiences great enhancement, thus narrowing the regional energy efficiency gap (Peluffo, 2013;Qu et al, 2020). However, when regional integration continues to increase beyond a certain level, the marginal impact of the agglomeration effect decreases while the selection effect increases, so that low-efficiency enterprises in core cities select to re-locate to peripheral cities when faced with such lower marginal returns and higher operation costs, thus reducing the energy efficiency of peripheral cities (Sedlacek et al, 2020). Notably, this movement also makes the energy efficiency of the core cities increasing.…”

Reflexões Sobre O Alcance Da Governança Colaborativa, a Partir Dos Diálogos Entre Os Stakeholders, No Âmbito Dos Objetivos Do Desenvolvimento Sustentável

“…Para que os mecanismos de colaboração da governança colaborativa sejam efetivos, Sedlacek, Tötzer & Lund-Durlacher (2020) apontam que são necessários elementos que incluam o diálogo face a face, iniciativas de construção de confiança, compromisso com o processo, uma compreensão compartilhada das metas comumente definidas e resultados intermediários que serão analisados.…”
