Collaborative Capacities for Successful Collaboration: The Case of Thai Local Administrative Organizations’ Waste Management
Keywords:
solid waste, Thailand, waste managementAbstract
Thailand has faced a continuous increase in municipal waste, only a small amount of which has been managed by proper disposal techniques. To respond to this problem, the government has implemented public policies that encourage collaboration between local administrative organizations (LAOs) and other sectors in the management of waste. This article aims to increase the understanding of collaborative capacities, a theory developed by Lodge and Wegerich (2014) and Thomson and Perry (2006), consisting of administrative capacity and social capacity. The article draws upon data from three case studies of best practices in LAOs’ waste management collaboration. The data led to identification of two new sub-types of collaborative capacities: policy capacity, which is a new sub-type of administrative capacity; and innovation capacity, which is a new sub-type of social capacity.
