Central typologies of supra-institutional cooperation
Strategic cooperation
• Connection via steering instruments closely related to the market•Trust between partners is ensured through contracts and enhanced by sanctioning mechanisms•e.g.: supplier – buyer relationship
• Connection of a relatively small number of strategically important actors in order to reach and improve upon each individual‘s goals• usually quite formal • e.g.: most hierarchical structures with a dominant central actor
• mutual recognition among equals• social concept of fairness and accountability towards shared values• integrative approach• none or insignificant sanctioning mechanisms
