    INTRODUCTION

    Local governance is a trendy concept involving the dynamics of contemporary

    public policy and local politics agenda. Influence of the neoliberal agenda as well

    as overall decentralisation trend have changed the understanding of how and in

    what spatial unit the problems are supposed to be solved. Local governance, in

    that context, is like a mirror reflecting the circumstances of the period stressing

    out the need for a bottom-up approach, grassroots awareness and inclusion

    within a local spatial scale. Partnership is not the only but one of the most

    important strategies of this new governing system called local governance. The

    paper, here, aims to examine two issues in this regard, (1) to analyse how the

    concept ofpartnership working has emerged and developed in local governance

    particularly in terms of tackling against deprivation and problems in social issues

    such as education, health and employment (2) to discuss whether it is delivering

    what cities need. In the first section, background and theoretical framework

    which concepts like governance, local governance emerged in and what it means

    in urban politics are going to be presented. In the second part, partnership

    working as a particular strategy is going to be investigated; what it means and

    why it matters. In the third part the paper analyses what matters to

    contemporary cities and discusses whether the partnership working delivers

    what cities need drawing on the practises.

    EMERGENCE OF NEW URBAN POLITICS

    Over the past several decades, the contexts and dynamics of socio-urban space

    have undergone a dramatic change and new ways of city management has been

    required to meet the challenges of this contemporary changing economic

    environment. This is evaluated as the emergence of new urban politics and

    emergence of the new or the entrepreneurial city producing new mechanics

    and constellations of urban order in literature (Harvey 1989, Hall & Hubbard

    1998, MacLeod 2002, Smart & Smart 2003, Fischer et al. 2004).

    As of 70s transformation as national government ceased its assistance and

    influence on local government which Brenner (2003) calls state rescaling or

    Corry and Stoker (cited in Geddes 2006) call neoliberalization of urban space. As

    of 1990s as a response to the emergence of fragmentation and need for

    collaboration and coordination between agencies brought up the concept of joint

    up governance. All the way throughout this transformation

    the local governments gained a business-like attribute such as risk-taking,profit motivation,

    new form of urban politics emerged which has been mostly shaped byparticipation of private sector

    managerialist and networked institutions have been created

    public monopoly local services are eliminated and they are replaced bycompetitive contracting and privatized provision

    economic promotion through a range of local supply-side policies and localized,competitive entrepreneurial strategies have been replaced the traditional

    compensatory regional policies

    the old bureaucratic silos and the local politicians associated with them, arereplaced by decentralised multi governance structures

    entrepreneurial local leadership and public-private co-operation has beenaccelerated

    fragmentation stimulated the need for a new form of governance namely jointup governance

    (Darlow et al 2007, Jessop, Painter & Goodwin, Brenner & Theodore cited in

    Geddes 2006, Hall & Hubbard 1998)

    LOCAL GOVERNANCE: SHIFT FROM GOVERNMENT TO GOVERNANCE

    As Geddes (2006) argues that shift to governance is an interface to soften the

    negative effects of neoliberal policies on the urban space as well as facilitating

    its competitive edge in the contemporary competitive economic environment

    therefore it is necessary to see local governance from both the new institutional

    perspective and perspective of political economy of neoliberalism in order to

    precisely grasp the power and limitations of local governance. UK Government

    explains its vision about local governance as arevitalised system of local

    authorities working with partners from every sector. Together they will develop

    better public services built around the communities, families and individuals who

    use them. We want people to take an active part in the democratic life of their

    place and to be part of how it improves.(Communities 2008)

    Contemporary public policy literature has been focused on the merits of

    governance. What is governance? IDEA (2006), a UK institution working on

    improvement of local governments, explains it as structuring basing on strong

    relationships between individuals and organisations, trust and accountability.

    Why is it so important?Lebel et al (2006) and Rhodes (1996) argues that goodgovernance facilitates the multi actor social formation where activities are

    backed by shared goals not by any formal authority; creates self organised

    and self responsible societies which is fuelled by the autonomy given implying

    not only freedom but also responsibility; creates effective climate for

    interdependencies of the actors or networks - that are genuinely formed to

    achieve a particular objective or to sort out a particular need /problem;

    produces trust & cooperation among actors stemming from this interdependency

    condition. Governance steers the system not rows it; increases effectiveness

    and efficiency, empowers citizens, turns them into shareholders, provides

    accountability; increase the adaptive capacity of public against risks and benefits

    (Lebel et al. 2006, Rhodes 1996).

    Separation of steering and rowing has strategic importance in that particular

    point where the national economies have been transforming and welfare state

    has been shrinking. Osborne and Gaebler (cited in Yamamoto 2007) explain this

    need of strategic action asSteering requires people who see the entire universe

    of issues and possibilities and can balance competing demands for resources.

    Rowing requires people who focus intently on one mission and perform it well.

    Steering organizations need to find the best methods to achieve their goals.

    Rowing organizations tend to defend their methods at all costs This leaves

    government operating basically as a skilful buyer, leveraging the various

    producers in ways that will accomplish its policy objectives.

    Drawing on these debates, local governance has been popularly is badged with

    the local partnership and community discourse of Third Way politics. Multi-

    organisational and community-based partnerships have become dominant social

    inclusion and exclusion methodologies, particularly in promoting urban

  • 8/8/2019 Partnership Local Governance OKatisoz

    5/22

    5 / 22

    regeneration and more joined-up strategies to address cross-cutting

    community issues (Atkinson, Lowndes & Skelcher cited in Reddel 2004).

    Such partnerships, as enacted in urban regeneration programs, local action

    zones and regional development initiatives, reflect a confusing mix of principles.

    Lowndes and Skelcher (cited in Reddel 2004) argue that partnership should be

    seen as an organisational form that can operate across different modes of

    governance based on markets, hierarchies or networks. Danger of misfocusing,

    therefore, should be carefully considered for the partnerships that are

    contructed without a systemic analysis of basic governance modes and

    outcomes. (Reddel 2004)

    THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

    Public administration literature has been discussing new forms of governing

    structures. The local governance discussions, in that context, varying from new

    institutionalism to regime theory presents diverse governing structures and

    partnerships. Below section summarizes the contemporary approaches to outline

    the key issues which have been observed, analysed and emphasized in

    theoretical course.

    Regime Theory assumes that urban governance emerges in the form of

    informal governing alliances among the prominent figures of community such as

    private sector, community leaders and government officials to complete tasks

    which is called social production of power (DiGaetano & Lawless 1999).

    DiGaetano & Lawless (1999) diversify the regime theory according to different

    governing structures; clientelistic, corporatist, managerial and pluralistic. Each

    has different modes of state-society relations and governing logic. Partners are

  • 8/8/2019 Partnership Local Governance OKatisoz

    6/22

    6 / 22

    in a reciprocally benefiting relationship in a clientelistic, favouritistic mode while

    civic leaders are the core of the negotiations in the corporatist mode (DiGaetano

    & Lawless 1999). In managerial mode, state is the key decision maker having

    bureaucratic base relationships with non-governmental actors while in the form

    of pluralist structure, state is merely a broker balancing the private interest in

    the urban space (DiGaetano & Lawless 1999). New institutionalism recognizes

    that institutions operate in an environment consisting of other institutions, called

    the institutional environment and in order to survive, institutions need to

    establish legitimacy within the world of institutions. Informal conventions as well

    as formal structures and rules, the role of values and power relations or

    structures and, importantly, the interactions between individuals and institutions

    are component of contemporary new institutionalist approach. Concept of the

    strength of weak tiesis critical in understanding the nature and form of new

    inter-organisational partnerships and networks involving often dispersed groups

    and individuals. These discursive flows are seen as opening up previously closed

    networks or cliques and facilitating improved information flows which promote

    greater participation and engagement between policy actors across

    organisational fields (Geddes 2006). New Public Management (NPM )

    approach is the broad concept intended to reflect the trend of public

    management reform and public sector reform since the 80s coming through the

    present in the late 2000s (Yamamoto 2007). It assumes that a system must be

    managed and must manage for itself but also it must be let the management by

    a network of interdependent components concerned organisations and sectors

    (Yamamoto 2007). Yamamoto (2007) argues that counterpart of this approach

    in public management is the multilevel governance by PPPs (public private

    partnerships) schemes. NPM focuses on the interaction, cooperation, and

  • 8/8/2019 Partnership Local Governance OKatisoz

    7/22

    7 / 22

    collaboration of the trilogy of governments, markets and citizens (Yamamoto

    2007).

    Network theorists such as Rhodes and Marsh and Smith argue for a

    differentiated analysis based on relative power, structure and resource exchange

    within and between networks. Five ideal types of policy network have been

    described: tightly integrated policy communities, professional, inter-

    governmental, producer and loosely integrated issue based networks (Geddes et

    al 2007)

    PARTNERSHIP WORKING: BACKGROUND, SCOPE

    The partnership discourse has become the key governance principle in the

    United Kingdom due to the challenges of(1) building authoritative democratic

    state capacity, in the face of public sector reforms based on a recipe of

    competition and neo-liberalism, (2) citizen disengagement, and a retreat from

    the state(Geddes 2006). Painter and Goodwin (cited in Geddes 2006)

    emphasize entrepreneurial local leadership and public-private cooperation as

    one of the key elements of local restructuring. Targeted at areas of high

    deprivation, the idea that problems that are connected to social exclusion

    require joined-up solutions has contributed to the value placed on partnership

    (Ashtana et al 2002). Geddes (2006) argues that partnership at local levels will

    create more efficient, inclusive and pluralist local governance, bringing together

    key organizations and actors (from the three spheres of state, market and civil

    society) to identify communities top priorities and needs, and work with local

    people to provide them and partnership working is a the way of achieving

    effective outcomes, and solutions to so-called wicked issues, by building trust,

    sharing knowledge and resources, and working collaboratively across

    boundaries.

    neighbourhoods with inequalities in terms of health issues such as rate of illness

    and accessibility to health services (Painter & Clarence 2001).

    Actions zones are, significantly, mostly concentrated in urban areas and based

    on partnership approach aiming the joint agency working to break down

    established bureaucratic organisational barriers and to promote more integrated

    responses to public policy problems (Painter & Clarence 2001). The ethos of

    multi-agency working central to the action zone initiatives provides a direct link

    to the notion of joined-up government and New Labours broader

    modernisationprogramme of which this forms part(Painter & Clarence 2001).

    Painter and Clarence (2001) argue that top-nature of the initiatives effect the

    nature of the partnership and constraints the localities ability to move. Central

    government is far from being flexible and, enabling as well as oriented to short

    term outcome which in return affect the sustainability of the action.

    Local Area Agreements (LAAs)

    LAAs are described as follows on Communities link: LAAs set out the priorities

    for a local area agreed between central government and a local area (the local

    authority and Local Strategic Partnership) and other key partners at the local

    level. LAAs simplify some central funding, help join up public services more

    effectively and allow greater flexibility for local solutions to local

    circumstances. Through these means, LAAs are helping to devolve decision

    making, move away from a 'Whitehall knows best' philosophy and reduce

    bureaucracy.

    LAAs require form of joined up governance and collective delivery which all

    public service providers of this particular locality cooperates (IDEA 2006). LAAs

    main objective is to present the tools for the key partners in a locality for

  • 8/8/2019 Partnership Local Governance OKatisoz

    10/22

    10 / 22

    sharing priorities, planning the businesses, and making decisions of resources

    allocations with reference to a agreed strategy and collectively accountable

    (IDEA 2006). However there are some issues which should be taken up and that

    the local partnership system needs new organisational transformation such as;

    Rationalising and reducing the partnership; it is found that present partnerships

    are formed due to central government requirements and serving the need of

    particular client groups

    Clearer definition of purpose and scope of partnership; partnerships are mostly

    effective in terms of information sharing however not as effective as them in

    terms of service delivery

    The research literature identifies major limitations to local partnerships.

    Fundamental to neoliberal politics is a reduction of state power and a shift of

    policy responsibilities and risk to under-resourced local communities (Reddel

    2004).

    Local Strategic Partnership (LSPs)

    LSP is a body which brings together at a local level the different parts of the

    public sector as well as the private, business, community and voluntary sectors

    so that different initiatives and services support each other and work together.

    LSPs are non- statutory, and largely non-executive organizations, and the

    intention is that they operate at a level which enables strategic decisions to be

    taken yet is close enough to the grassroots to allow direct community

    engagement. (Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions cited

    in Geddes 2006)

    What is the scope of LSPs?

  • 8/8/2019 Partnership Local Governance OKatisoz

    11/22

    11 / 22

    Improvement of the economic, environmental, and social well-being of eacharea, and contribute to the achievement of sustainable development across the

    country

    Narrowing of the gap between the most deprived neighbourhoods and the restof the country, Effective neighbourhood renewal is seen to depend on services

    working together which local people, business and the voluntary sector all

    need to be able to contribute to planning and delivering.

    Local Public Service Agreements (LPSAs) and Local Area Agreements (LAAs)are being instituted between central and local government to tackle key

    national and local priorities (on health, education, employment, crime, and

    housing), with agreed flexibilities, pump-priming and financial rewards if

    improvements are delivered. Those agreements are executed through the

    LSPs.

    LSPs are targeting the problem of confusing production processes ofpartnership, plans and initiatives at the local level, and of duplication and

    unnecessary bureaucracy. In short they aim to simplify the action for partners

    to get involved. (Geddes 2006)

    In areas with district and county LSPs, there is the additional challenge ofensuring that local needs and views are adequately represented in the

    development and implementation phase of LAAs. (IDAE 2006)

    Although LSPs aim to enable strategic decisions to be taken yet is close enough

    to the grassroots to allow direct community engagementit is observed that

    there is the unease among local authorities and councillors about the potential

    leaching of power to LSPs, which is, in essence contributing to the fragmentation

    of accountability and dilution of local democracy (Geddes 2006). Government,

  • 8/8/2019 Partnership Local Governance OKatisoz

    12/22

    12 / 22

    Geddes (2006) argues relying on the findings on the researches on the

    effectiveness of LSPs, needs to give much greater recognition to the local

    leadership role of councillors in LSPs.

    NDC (New Deal for Communities)

    The NDC programme is the UK governments flagship programme to regenerate

    those neighbourhoods suffering the most disadvantages within the wider

    National Strategy for Neighbourhood Renewal (NSNR). Each is able to draw on

    funding of about 50 million over a 10-year period. Each local NDC project is

    managed by a partnership board, and has developed a strategy and a delivery

    plan, based around the five key outcome areas of the NSNR which are crime,

    employment, education, health, housing and physical environment.

    A key feature of NDC is that the emphasis is placed on utilizing the resources

    and powers of the NDC to influence mainstream service provision, rather than

    regarding the 50 million funding as the main means by which the

    neighbourhood will be improved. Secondly, local NDC projects are intended to

    be community led in a stronger sense than has been the case in previous

    regeneration initiatives the rhetoric from government at the launch of

    NDC was of communities in control. Even though this has since been somewhat

    weakened in a way, a recent report by the National Audit Office found that the

    NDC programme had taken significant steps to involve community interests

    (Ryde cited in Geddes 2006).

    However it attracts some critiques as well. Lawless (cited in Geddes 2006)

    argues that the programme has a relatively marginal role in attacking

    deprivation and highlighting the political tensions at both national and local

    levels which can disrupt local projects of this nature. Through NDCs are

  • 8/8/2019 Partnership Local Governance OKatisoz

    13/22

    13 / 22

    particularly interesting in the extent to which they function robustly as

    institutions which encourage bottom-up participation by citizens from

    disadvantaged areas in the system of local governance (Geddes 2006). This

    reflection above may be interpreted as fact that local governance strategies is

    not necessarily strengthening this grassroots capacity, rather may be causing a

    dependency situation in that context.

    IS IT DELIVERING WHAT CITIES NEED?

    How effective and how legitimate? Is partnership working delivering what cities

    need? For a clear discussion it is better to begin the analysis by very briefly

    discussing what cities need.

    Decline of Fordist production systems transformed the urban space into a space

    of conflict which Sassen (1994) calls emergence of centrality and marginality.

    Reorganisation of production has led to the reorganisation of labour market in

    the form of such as growth of an informal economy, decline of unions, loss of

    contractual protection and increase in part time / temporary jobs, as well as

    increasing homelessness and decreasing affordability of people, new

    intra/interurban inequalities (polarisation). Parallel to the transformation of

    economic sectors, context of public administration has been profoundly

    restructured as well. Classical local government approach has been replaced by

    local governance principles. This new public administration understanding

    favours individual over state; the interconnection among shareholders relying on

    volunteer-based cooperation over hierarchic relations; negotiation, democratic

    participation, project democracy over imposition; facilitator, enabler local

    government over applicator one; systems caring diversity and local value over

    standardising systems; accountable over conservative (Goymen 2004).

    activists have to struggle is hard to achieve (Wainwright cited in Geddes

    2006).

    Business decisions are one of the most important factors which will determinethe success or failure of local strategies. Business participation is therefore

    encouraged by the perceptions of business organizations and individual

    businesses about the possible benefits (availability of direct business

    opportunities (in service provision for example) or better knowledge of the

    local business environment) and the opportunity costs of involvement through

    local engagement and networking. In general, this has meant so far that

    partnerships have found it difficult to secure business involvement. National

    reporting about partnership such as the NAO audit found that partnerships are

    having particular difficulties in engaging business and connecting residents to

    the local labour market (Geddes 2006).

    For neighbourhood-based local community and voluntary sector actors, theapparent opportunities to exercise real

    influence partnerships over public service

    provision appear very considerable, and

    many local activists seem prepared to

    make huge personal commitments to

    partnerships to take hold of them

    (Geddes 2006).

    The meta-governance is a fact of successand effectiveness of local partnerships.

    Central government is usually the major

    constraint against the success and

  • 8/8/2019 Partnership Local Governance OKatisoz

    16/22

    16 / 22

    effectiveness of local partnerships. The effectiveness partnerships at the local

    level depends heavily on practices at national and regional levels of

    government, and government has adopted a range of strategies and

    interventions, to control and regulate the new local institutions they have set

    up (Geddes 2006) This is not only a question of the dominance of national over

    local priorities in a period when achieving public service delivery outcomes are

    a major government priority. It is also that, in this period of intensive

    restructuring and change, the invention and application of new institutional

    norms, incentives and sanctions has been led from the centre not from the

    local level. Thus LSPs operate within a centrallydriven regime, especially in

    those areas eligible for NRF funding, where they must be assessed annually by

    government regional offices, according to a set of rules drawn up by the NRU

    (Geddes 2006). The move to a stronger local government may be perceived as

    a sign of significant change. However, current developments more reflect the

    priorities of central government agenda and tend to undermine the expressed

    objective of empowering local communities. Furbey (1999) argues that whilst

    bids do reflect local issues, local priorities are tested against the priorities of

    central government in order to comply with real or perceived government

    requirements. Local governance strategies are regularly monitored and tightly

    controlled by performance management systems instituted by central

    government and carried through by regional government offices. Thus, on the

    one hand, those partnerships represent an attempt to open up local

    governance to a wider range of local interests and better reflect local priorities

    and needs; but on the other hand they are both subject to central government

    monitoring and performance management arrangements which judge them on

  • 8/8/2019 Partnership Local Governance OKatisoz

    17/22

    17 / 22

    their ability to match targets and objectives imposed from above(Geddes

    2006).

    As long as the local governance strategies depend on central governmentbudget, they are subject to

    domination and control of it due

    to accountability and

    governmentality requirements

    which Geddes (2006) call

    performance-managed public

    service agencies. Partnerships

    are bounded by governments

    success indicators and priorities

    not only in budgeting but also in

    objective setting. Geddes (2006)

    explains the case as follows; Partnerships are subject to regular review,

    inspection and audit. Thus LSPs operate within a centrallydriven regime,especially in those areas eligible for Neighbourhood Renewal Funding, where

    they must be assessed annually by government regional offices, according to a

    set of rules drawn up by the Neighbourhood Renewal Unit

    Time-limited initiatives, framed by strong bidding guidelines and with therequirement to supply increasingly strong and comprehensive measures of

    project inputs and outputs are more of an outcome of more mechanistic

    approaches (Furbey 1999). Therefore partnerships are likely to turn into a

    mode of checklist rather than targeting more practical issues which soft project

    as such require.

  • 8/8/2019 Partnership Local Governance OKatisoz

    18/22

    Local authorities have a leading role which both a facilitator and a barrieraspect. They are supposed to be facilitator because the process needs a single

    actor to lead and may likely to turn into a function of barrier because

    perception of domination may cause lack of ownership among other parties.

    (Darlow et al 2007)

    Local politics has bad reputation of the limited and even declining local politicalparticipation, or the quality of local elected or the perception problem of lack of

    transparency and accountability of local politics. Local governance strategies

    appear to offer involvement of a wider range of interests in local policy

    making, and a framework within which trust can be developed and the

    perspectives of different interests identified and understood(Geddes 2006)

    Local partnerships should support representative democracy, and should formthe platform for negotiation of different ideas, views which Geddes (2006) calls

    as shift from antagonistic to agonistic mode.

    Perception of partnerships has been improved as a result of communitystrategy process. Data sharing and joint target settings are the steps that

    partnerships work the best. Community strategies drive partners to sign up to

    a single document hence resulted in the development of a common brand and

    identity for that particular locality (Darlow et al 2007). However involvement

    of all parties has critical role in success.

    Partnerships lead to a better understanding of local needs (Darlow et al 2007)Moving from the experience of LSPs, it is argued that authorities have found

    that there is a need for a central body which is responsible for practical

    spending decisions the allocation and/or alignment of funds (IDEA 2006). This

    accountable body comprises senior members and elected officials of the key

  • 8/8/2019 Partnership Local Governance OKatisoz

    19/22

    19 / 22

    agencies in a locality. Constituent LSPs remain in place under the revised

    arrangements and retain their visioning and co-ordinating role, overseeing

    countywide strategic issues to realise the Community Strategy objectives

    (IDEA 2006)

    CONCLUSION

    The paper firstly analysed the current public administration realm and

    contemporary economic and institutional transformation that have been

    embodied in urban space as local governance. It, then, focused particularly on

    the issue of partnership working as a local governance strategy. Practises have

    been examined, and factors of success and failure have been analysed.

    In conclusion, the paper argues that inputs and processes which define success

    of partnership working in the urban space have very relative and intangible

    aspects. Balance between despotism and leadership, bureaucracy and

    informality leading local initiatives, practicality and accountability stimulates the

    question of whether a genuine partnership can be externally constructed,

    whether the principles of goodpartnership can be written down, whether

    partnership can be free from special / conditional attributes to be mainstreamed.

    Attempts of UK government in the process of modernisation of local authorities

    have been very much focusing on empowerment of local agencies and

    communities in goal setting and service delivery through the promotion

    partnerships via various structures such as LAAs, LSPs, NDCs. Top-down nature

    of attempt negatively effects its efficiency and legitimacy. Accountability is a

    must in public administration and it is possible to monitor accountability through

    performance criteria may seem as the most practical and just way. A
