Collaborative Governance in PPP Projects for Public Sports Services:Key Structure,Behavioral Process and Mechanism Pathways
The collaborative governance in PPP projects for public sports services embodies an institutional choice based on the established attributes of a project within a multi-subject,cross-boundary organizational domain.The paper is based on the study of collaborative governance involving government,social capital,and the general public in PPP projects for public sports services.Through methods of document analysis and logical analysis,the paper analyzes the key structure,behavioral process and mechanism pathways associated with the collaborative governance of these projects.The research finds that each subject within collaborative gover-nance has different functions:government serves as an arranger,responsible for rule-making and supervising implementation;social capital acts as a producer,providing services;general public,as a beneficiary,is responsible for feeding back needs and evaluating effects.Through consultation and joint construction,these three entities form the collaborative governance struc-ture of PPP projects for public sports services,encompassing both external cross-organizational collaboration,and internal hierarchical collaboration.The research also deduces the process of mutual behavior between government and social capital,which transitions from game to collab-oration,based on evolutionary game theory.This process changes dynamically with the selec-tion and evolution of both entities'strategies.Finally,the research proposes the mechanism pathways for collaborative governance in PPP projects for public sports services.These path-ways include smoothing shared channels through communication and consultation mechanisms,mitigating and addressing crises through risk management mechanisms,balancing the demands of all parties through interest coordination mechanisms,and regularizing behaviors of the enti-ties through incentive and constraint mechanisms.
