In Pursuit of Inter-Agency Collaboration In The Public Sector: What is the contribution of theory and research?
Abstract
Although long seen as desirable, inter-agency collaboration has remained conceptually elusive and difficult to achieve. Whilst recognising that there are other positions, this article takes the normative position that collaboration is generally a ‘good thing’. It brings together strands of theoretical, conceptual and empirical literature from diverse disciplines in ‘order to better understand inter-agency collaboration as a concept and as a process, This is developed into a sequentially structured framework capable of being customised to a range of organisational and policy contexts.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
