“…A discipline that frequently applies an SLR to enhance the knowledge base and to provide information for policy makers and practitioners is medical science [117]. SLR papers are also published in the wider social sciences [117], business (e.g., [120]), organization theory [121], and hospitality and tourism. Out of the hundreds of SLRs in tourism, examples include reviews on innovation [122], data management [123], the resource efficiency of tourist accommodation [116], sustainable tourism in a developing country [112], networked collaboration in tourist destinations [124], networks in tourism management studies [115], gendered travel risk [118], and the effects of online reviews on tourism consumers and providers [125].…”

Growing numbers of tourist arrivals, in combination with community-centered tourism products, have fueled the recent debate on overtourism and a redefining of local steering processes. This has also called for the participation of residents in governance processes. One tool to utilize residents’ participation and cross-stakeholder involvement is the Living Lab (LL), which also functions as a medium for self-organization. This article tackles the research gap that exists in the combination of the LL mechanisms and destination governance (DG). Therefore, the research questions address the characteristics and mechanisms of LLs and the potential for residents’ participation. These efforts are operationalized through a systematic literature review (SLR) on LLs, which involves 40 articles. The transfer of the LL characteristics towards DG reveals that certain drivers and barriers exist when implementing the LL in the governance process, such as the combination of destination and city planning or the redefining of hierarchical structures. The SLR recommendations for future research are based on the interface of LL and DG.

“…Democratic institutional characteristics bring legitimacy to the central role of government especially when steering market forces and non-government actors. Coordinating collaboration between policy authorities and stakeholders can create room for the state to interfere with the natural process of decision making by involving private political interests and cliental behavior (Gjaltema et al, 2019). However, the democratic legislative process can further check and balance policy making procedures as well as the political bias of the state (Bell & Hindmoor, 2009).…”

“…From the literature reviewed it can be concluded that the democratic process is an essential function of metagovernance (Gjaltema et al, 2019). In this respect, metagovernance literature also discusses potential challenges to the implementation of democratic governance when fair participation of stakeholders is not included in state-led governance (Bristow, Entwistle & Martin, 2008;Evans, 2007;Gjaltema et al, 2019;Qvist, 2017;Sørensen, 2006). This, however, does not reject the central role the state has in metagoverning society.…”

“…Both empirical and conceptual foundations of metagovernance have traditionally been rooted in developed democracies including the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) economies. This system of governance has been evolving as an effective way for the state or government to direct and manage socio-economic activities in dealing with multiple wicked problems and crises across jurisdictions (Evans, 2007;Larsson, 2017) and apply central steering to achieve public policy objectives (Gjaltema, Biesbroek & Termeer, 2019;Meuleman, 2019;Torfing & Triantafillou, 2013;Umukoro, 2014;Werlin, 2009). Not just the big bailout of 2008 (see Collins, 2015) but also the way current governments across the globe have been required to step in to curb both the health and in Ghana, Mexico, Argentina (Auty, 2004a) and the Maldives (Rasheed, 2015) have shown persistent failures of the state to govern balanced development.…”

Framing Metagovernance in the Context of Developing Democracies: An Institutionalist Viewpoint

Metagovernance has traditionally been evolving as an effective mode of governance in developed democracies for states or governments to legitimately steer and coordinate stakeholder governance across jurisdictions. This article extend this work to understand the application of metagovernance in the context of developing democracies. Using an institutionalist viewpoint, the article explores the conceptual and empirical bases of metagovernance, drawing from the political science and political economy literature on developing economies to explain how political institutions can shape the state capacity to metagovern socio-economic activities in developing democracies. This article finds that the state capacity to metagovern can be challenged by weak democratic political practices.

“…Who and who will be involved in writing the governing framework?" This question hints at Castells (2007; proposition on power in network arrangements, as those who determine 'the rules of inclusion and exclusion' typically determine the collaborative boundary. That is, they set the rules of engagement, the terms and conditions, the governing framework for metagovernance.…”

Uncovering Metagovernance in Government- Third Sector Collaboration in Kano State, Nigeria

Uncovering metagovernance in collaborative settings in Kano state, Nigeria, is the main concern of this paper. The central question explored was, what were the governing frameworks used by government policy officials and third sector chief executives (CEOs) to metagovern collaboration in the resource constrained state? This question was explored using an interpretivist qualitative research design that involved in-depthinterview sources and document analysis. The interviews consisted of a total of 12 participants, six government policy officials and six third sector chief executives, and, in each case, lasted an hour-and-the-half, in three cycles, over a period of three months. The interviews were analysed with the aid of NVivo-8 software as a data processing tool. The study findings suggest that although there was no standard framework for governing collaboration that could be described as systematic metagovernance, pragmatic combinations of a dominant ‘dynamic approach’ and an emerging ‘stable approach’ were employed to govern government-third sector collaboration in the state. Despite the limitations of this approach, it had prevailed in collaborative settings in the state for at least two decades and now urgently requires replacement. The paper concludes that for collaboration to be effective in delivering public services and publicly desired outcomes, key features of the dynamic and the stable approach to collaboration must be merged to co-create an innovative and resilient metagovernance system that will serve all actors involved in co-construction and co-creation activities in the state.
