Abstract

The purpose of this special issue is to deepen our theoretical understanding and empirical exploration of the interrelations of digital transformation, collaborative governance and how government strategies at multiple levels address and shape these interrelationships. The special issue is based on an open call for papers and also brings together selected research findings from three EU-funded research projects (TROPICO, Co-VAL, and COGOV). All three were part of CULT-COOP-11-2016-2017, a call for research projects that emphasized the interconnection between the development of collaborative governance forms and digitalization initiatives with strategic management approaches.
