Regional Governance

The Regional Governance Project focuses on the role of institutional collective action (ICA) in the formation, evolution, and performance of voluntary approaches to regional governance. Current research applies ICA to the investigation of networks of interlocal agreements, regional districts, and regional partnership organizations. This project is supported by the DeVoe Moore Center and grants from the National Science Foundation.
