Negli ultimi decenni la natura e gli obiettivi dell’attività di governo locale sono progressivamente cambiati ed essi, insieme alla fornitura di prodotti/servizi alla cittadinanza ed al territorio, si fondano sempre più su relazioni di collaborazione e partnership in rete che coinvolgono attivamente sia diverse aziende ed amministrazioni pubbliche, sia aziende ed attori privati, sia profit che non profit. Inoltre anche il tema dello sviluppo e della competitività territoriale sono divenuti sempre più critici. Questo articolo si propone di individuare ed analizzare: le tipologie e gli strumenti di collaborazione e partnership utili per il perseguimento di una efficace governance locale per lo sviluppo e la competitività territoriale, gli attori coinvolti, i relativi ruoli assunti, le relazioni instaurate e le eventuali condizioni favorevoli o criticità emergenti.
In the last decades, nature and objectives of governing activities at local level have gradually chan-ged together with the processes through which to deliver services to citizens and local stakeholders. In fact they are often based on network collaborations and partnerships actively involving both public administrations and private – profi t or nonprofi t – actors. Besides development and territorial competitiveness matters have become increasingly crucial. This article aims to identify and analyze: what kind of collaboration and partnerships looks more convenient for a governance improving local development and territorial competitiveness, what actors are involved, what are their roles and relationships, what conditions seem to be favourable and what are emerging criticalities.
