ABSTRACT

By analysing legislative programmes of all Swiss municipalities having more than 20,000 inhabitants (in 2018) and in two different time periods (2010 and 2020), this study examines the general place of collaboration in municipal strategies, by paying attention to the various public fields and degree of complexity in terms of actor constellations. As in real life, collaboration occupies also an important part of the large Swiss municipal governments’ strategic reflections. Yet, a certain gap exists regarding the weight given to public fields. Indeed, politically selling fields seem to get more place in legislative programmes than in real life. Collaboration, such as planned in municipal strategies, involves a large diversity of actors and thereby achieves a certain complexity which clearly goes beyond the intermunicipal level. The degree of complexity does not evolve over time but inhabitants become a strategically more important collaborative actor for municipalities.

摘要

通过分析两个不同时期（2010 年和 2020 年）居民超过 20,000 人的所有瑞士城市的立法计划（2018 年），本研究通过关注各个公共领域和演员星座的复杂程度。与现实生活一样，合作也是瑞士各大市政府战略思考的重要组成部分。然而，在给予公共领域的权重方面存在一定差距。事实上，政治出卖领域似乎在立法计划中比在现实生活中占有更多的位置。协作，例如市政战略中计划的协作，涉及大量不同的参与者，从而实现了一定程度的复杂性，这显然超出了城市间的水平。
