Notes

1 Such an approach implies the necessity of providing clear evidence of the greater effectiveness/success of the selected case under an a priori established criteria, e.g. democratic legitimacy, policy consistency, policy appropriateness to local conditions, etc. However, existing studies on MLG often just take the ‘superiority’ of cooperative policy-making for granted, without either properly arguing or providing evidence of it.
