“…Mismatched policies or delayed action by one partner can seriously affect the others' collaborative actions and motives. Collaboration risk rises due to higher transaction costs in information flow and coordinated activities caused by structural variations in different decision designs (Bel et al, 2021; Noda, 2023; Wang et al, 2016).…”

When institutional frictions threaten to disrupt collaborations, an external authority can be brought in to resolve disputes. How effective is such external imposition? What are the institutional circumstances in which it works? Framed by the collaborative governance regime (CGR), which sees established procedures and institutions as a critical collaborative capacity, this research employs a unique concept-collaborative friction-to explore the role of external imposition in collaboration among entities with significant institutional differences. We examined 965 recorded collaborative frictions from four large collaborative infrastructure projects between governments in Hong Kong and mainland China. Our finding suggests a significant, but limited, effect of the central government's imposition on collaborative frictions. We also find a significant role of sociopolitical circumstances in collaboration. Based on the findings, we make several theoretical propositions articulating external imposition's role in collaboration. Evidence for practice• A large number of collaborative frictions can occur when collaborating institutions with different governing procedures and institutions interact. • The engagement of an external authority may improve collaboration through reducing collaborative frictions in short term. • External imposition may not necessarily improve collaboration in long term.• Controversial political issues could increase the difficulty for collaboration through creating or augmenting frictions in collaborating institutions. • Controversial political issues could also make the external authority's engagement in collaboration difficult to achieve expected outcomes.

“…They find evidence of moderate rises in agency reputation in the media as a result of increased collaboration with the FDA; these persist significantly for 2 years beyond the end of the collaboration but decline to null after 4 years. Noda (2023) provides a distinctly intergovernmental flavor to this issue. Examining municipal waste management data from Japan, Noda reveals that favorable horizontal relationships between municipalities enhance their capacity to solve both municipal and regional issues.…”
