  4. Barbara Gray (1989) • Collaboration is a process through which “parties who see different aspects of a problem can constructively explore their differences and search for solutions that go beyond their own limited vision of what is possible

  5. Julian (1994) • Process through which stakeholders define a common mission, allocate resources, and engage in activities designed to achieve that mission”

  6. Wondolleck and Yaffee (1999) • Government agencies, communities, and private groups…building bridges between one another that enable them to deal with common problems, work through conflicts, and develop forward-thinking strategies for regional protection and development.

  7. Innes and Booher (1999) • The process itself is simply and foremost one of learning, which transforms participants’ previously held convictions and helps them to develop new shared meanings, purposes and innovative approaches to otherwise intractable issues.

  8. Weber (2003) • [GREM]: “an ongoing, collaborative governance arrangement in which inclusive coalitions of the unalike come together in a deliberative format to resolve policy problems affecting the environment, economy, community (or communities) of a particular place.”
