摘要：This article is a theoretical contribution to reconsidering the boundaries that are central features of collaborative public management. We identify two contrasting ways of doing boundary work: one oriented to treating them as barriers that promote separation and the other to treating them as junctures that enable connecting. We describe three general practices for creating junctures: translating across, aligning among, and decentering differences. We argue that orienting boundary work in coll...
