The International Series on Public Policy - the official series of International
Public Policy Association, which organizes the International Conference
on Public Policy - identifies major contributions to the field of public
policy, dealing with analytical and substantive policy and governance issues
across a variety of academic disciplines.
A comparative and interdisciplinary venture, it examines questions of
policy process and analysis, policymaking and implementation, policy
instruments, policy change & reforms, politics and policy, encompassing a
range of approaches, theoretical, methodological, and/or empirical.
Relevant across the various fields of political science, sociology, anthro-
pology, geography, history, and economics, this cutting edge series wel-
comes contributions from academics from across disciplines and career
stages, and constitutes a unique resource for public policy scholars and
those teaching public policy worldwide.
All books in the series are subject to Palgrave’s rigorous peer review
process: https://www.palgrave.com/gb/demystifying-peer-review/

1 MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE IN COLLABORATIVE NETWORKS… 5
while the dashed vertical arrows illustrate the output delivery (per proj-
ect). Finally, the different stick figures represent the different target groups
of the projects.
This study is concerned with networks of at least three interdependent
but still autonomous actors that jointly deliver public services to achieve a
common objective (Raab et al., 2015). While certain aspects of the policy
design phase will be included in the analysis because of the strong interde-
pendency of different stages of the policy cycle (Jann & Wegrich, 2007), I
here focus on the implementation of policies. This study thus distinguishes
itself from the literature linking network theory primarily to questions of
collaborative policy making (see, e.g., Edelenbos & Klijn, 2005). Thereby,
the services delivered by the networks are policy mixes composed of indi-
vidual projects (Mavrot et al., 2018) that are implemented by the various
network members. Each of the project implemented has individual attri-
butes (e.g., the background of the project manager, the type of policy
instrument, the quality of the underlying policy concept) which can have
an effect on the services (i.e., the outputs) delivered (depicted as dashed
vertical arrows in Fig. 1.2). In this sense, network performance is the accu-
mulated performance of these projects, while the pooling of resources and
the coordination of actions are expected to increase the performance of
the network as a whole (see, e.g., Isett et al., 2011).
Importantly, network members can, on the one hand, be understood as
the participating organizations, which include both state and non-state
actors (depicted at the top of Fig. 1.2 in the rectangles) (van Waarden,
1992). I focus on networks operating under a lead organization (Provan
& Kenis, 2008): This central organization within a network is not only
responsible for network management but itself also responsible for deliver-
ing certain services (for more details, see Sect. 1.3). On the other hand,
the term ‘network member’ can also be used to designate the individuals
working within these organizations (depicted in the second upper rectan-
gle in Fig. 1.2) (van Waarden, 1992). Thereby, the number of individuals
may differ from the number of organizations, since several individuals
affiliated with the same organization can operate within a network.
Regarding these individuals, I differentiate between the network manager
(one per network) and the various project managers. One of the key ele-
ments of the following analysis is that in lead organization networks, the
network manager often has a dual role: The respective person is usually
not only responsible for network management (depicted as the curved
horizontal arrows in Fig. 1.2), but also holds—to varying

Mrs. Dove slept on beside me, the high mound of the bed-clothes
rising regularly with her deep inhalations. If only I could sleep like
that! But in spite of the fact that I had gone to bed in peace and was
rested from my day in the sunlight, although I had been thinking
happy domestic thoughts dear to the heart of contented women and
far removed from overwrought nervous hallucinations, still I could not
deceive myself—I heard crying! They were weeping softly, in a
smothered way, as if they were trying not to be heard, as if they
knew well they must not allow themselves to be heard, but as if their
grief had passed beyond human control.
At the sound all my scant and precious reserve of courage was
dissipated. The calm repose of spirit that I had been developing
during the day was gone. The unearthly manifestation played on my
chilled heart. I was appalled.
It was such a wailing suffocated cry! Like some one in a nightmare,
or a child struggling in its sleep—or a child shut up in a room!... That
was it!
I tried not to comprehend the meaning of this horror. I wanted to hide
under the bed-clothes, but a voice rose above the weeping. I raised
my cowardly head to be sure that what I was straining to listen to
was there.... It was like the séance. I did not believe in it, but I heard
it just the same. The tones were not unlike those last faint whispers I
had heard in that eery hut on the sand-dunes. It was a woman’s
voice, frightened and trembling and shut away from me by two
partitions, but still I understood it.
“No— No— You can’t go! He would kill you if you ever got out.”
The cry was distraught and agonized, terrified as only a mother
bird’s is when the young robin hops out of the nest to the branch and
a cat crouches under the tree, or of a lioness whose cub is facing a
coiled snake at the mouth of her deep cave.
Some one moaned. I looked sharply at Mrs. Dove, but she was
sleeping. Had I uttered that despairing sigh myself, or was it only a
fitful gust in the tops of the five pine-trees?
Again there was wild weeping, and once more, barely
distinguishable, “Don’t go! Don’t go!”
But even that thwarted mother-love, defeated in life and restless in
death, could not hold back the elusive footsteps. I heard them start,
as they always had, to cross the room and try the doors and go up
and down the stairs.
Suddenly I remembered that after I had shown the secret way
behind the chimney to Mrs. Dove I had not wired or locked the doors
again. I had left everything open, thinking she might want to go up
there, and afterward we had forgotten. Guilt overwhelmed me.
Something urged me to go immediately and lock the downstairs
closet. I felt that I had to do this thing as much as if some one were
telling me to and urging me not to put it off. There was barely time if I
was to turn the key before twelve o’clock. And at the same time I felt
that nothing I could do would make any difference, that what was
about to happen had happened that way before. Afraid, but drawn on
despite myself, I slipped out of bed and down through the kitchen to
the captain’s room.
There I stopped. Some one was in the room. I could not see any one
in the room, but I knew some one was there. The moonlight flooded
every corner of it and the giant pine-trees outside cast great
shadows that ran like bars across the floor. The closet door was
partly open, and a faint red light shone through. But that there was
something alive in the room I felt so sure that I dared not take
another step. I was equally unable to go forward or to retreat. Then I
heard soft steps descending the chimney, heard them distinctly, as I
had heard them that night when I had slept down here in this room,
only now I knew them for what they were.
I strained to hear the latch lifted, but did not. This was my fault. I had
left the door open and it would slip out. Its mother would not want it
to get out!
I tried to call a warning, but it was too late. Something brushed
across the red crack of the doorway, something that was no more
than an ugly gesture, a hiss, or a black shadow. There was the
sound of impact and a blow, a body falling, a moan, a door banging.
Then all was still.
The red aura had vanished.
“Murder!” I screamed.
I staggered back to the kitchen companionway, gasping and calling
out, “Help! Help! Murder!”
A light was descending the stairs and Mrs. Dove was behind it. She
stood on the step in her starched white night-dress, holding a candle
high above her curl-papers.
“Murder!” I sobbed, and threw myself at her feet.
“Why, dearie,” said Mrs. Dove, “I didn’t hear nothing.”
