An Analysis of the Application of Cross-Regional Collaborative Governance Models in the Development of the “Guangdong-Guangxi Corridor”

Abstract

Cross-regional collaborative governance refers to the governance behavior driven by multiple stakeholders under the guiding principle of collaboration, utilizing cooperative governance methods to build a development framework of shared construction, governance, and benefits, ultimately enhancing the overall interests of cross-regional areas. Based on the classification of collaborative governance types, cross-regional collaborative governance primarily includes three models: vertical multi-level collaborative governance, parallel collaborative governance, and cross-sectional collaborative governance. The ultimate goal of the “Guangdong-Guangxi Corridor” (Yue-Gui Corridor) development is to create a tourism community. The super-network structure of the community closely aligns with the principles of cross-regional multi-level collaborative governance. Therefore, considering the practical aspects of the “Guangdong-Guangxi Corridor” development, the flexible application of different models of cross-regional multi-level collaborative governance is an essential and realistic path to promoting the comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable development of the project.
