Implementation Structure and Participation at Neighbourhood Level-A Multiple Case Study of Neighbourhood Development in Sweden

Academic practice–policy partnerships for health promotion research: Experiences from three research programs

“…using this approach, the review focuses on exploring the impact of participatory processes or cogovernance on research processes and outcomes. In-depth studies, including two doctoral dissertations [36,37], and published papers [see, e.g., [38][39][40][41] One doctoral dissertation [42] and research papers [see, for example, [43][44][45][46] Nine research studies and two meta-analytic studies, a family guide and a book in Swedish [47], and presentations at national and international conferences…”

Towards sustainable structures for neighbourhood development?

“…In-depth study 5 examines the four PSWD municipalities' implementation structure of neighbourhood renewal in 2006. It also examines how differences in implementation structure affect the inclusion of citizen participation (Geidne et al, 2012).…”

European Healthy Cities come to terms with health network governance

“…It includes formal institutions and regimes empowered to enforce compliance, as well as informal arrangements that people and institutions either have agreed to or perceive to be in their interest. Geidne et al (Geidne et al, 2012) comprehensively review the emergence of the concept of governance as relevant for local health development. They explain that a focus on governance, as complementary to studies of government, derives from a more refined understanding of the scope and nature of the welfare state.…”

“…They explain that a focus on governance, as complementary to studies of government, derives from a more refined understanding of the scope and nature of the welfare state. This understanding has led to a convergence of ideas that 'government directed by sovereign politicians is not necessarily the most rational arrangement' [ (Geidne et al, 2012), p. 307] as argued by Sørensen (Sørensen, 2002). They follow Stoker (Stoker, 1998) who argues that, in spite of a lack of unequivocal definition of governance, a consensus exists that it refers to the development of governing styles that blur the boundaries between, and within, the public and private sectors.…”

“…Contemporary theoretical approaches to governance converge also on the idea that, empirically, the study of governance requires mapping and management of networks (e. g. De Leeuw et al, 2013). Geidne et al (Geidne et al, 2012) continue to argue that these governance networks consist of a plurality of independent but reciprocally interdependent governing actors. These actors do not have the potential or legitimacy to individually shape or implement policy, but all have a legitimate stake in debating, resolving or hindering progress on social issues (Raab, 2014).…”
