Abstract:

This article analyzes governance in health regions, through the contributions of two studies: one on governance model and other functions on the management of public policies networks.
The first conducted meta-analysis of 137 case studies in the literature on collaborative governance aimed at elaborating an explanatory and analytical model. The authors identify critical variables that will influence the results: A history of conflict or cooperation, incentives for participation, power imbalances, leadership and institutional design. They also identified key factors: face-to-face dialogue, confidence building and development of commitment and shared vision.
The second examined networks of public policies in the analytic tradition and the perspective of governance incorporating conceptsthe field of political science, economics and interorganizational relations, in order to support the management of public policies networks. The study identifies the network management as equivalent to a strategic game involving functions: network activation framework for relations, mediation, facilitation and consensus building and mediation and arbitration. The combination of the two reflections provides conceptual reference for better understanding of governance in health regions.
