Notes
- Explores concepts of how goverments develop coordinated and coherent policies among branches and levels of government.
- Identifies emergent properties of hierarchical systems that prevent coordination, including exclusive program-client relationships, legislative power distribution, and the assumption of self-importance within programs.
- Differentiates between conflict avoidance or "negative coordiation" and active collaboration or "positive coordiation"
- Points to the value of top-down and bottom-up synergy.
- Peter's points to the potential for market and network mechanisms to support coordination, in addition to hierarchical mechanisms, and differentiates among these three mechanisms.
