In the UK, there is a political consensus that a multi-sectoral partnership approach is essential to achieve urban regeneration. The Conservative government has inscribed partnership with a complex political agenda. The paper explores how
the stakeholders in the central government-led Scottish Urban Partnerships conceive of the nature of their interrelationships within this political context. A conceptualisation of the partnership processes is also presented.

This article answers the question of why interlocal partnerships are seen as a viable route to effective governance among local elites in Norway. It shows that partnerships are also based on a more general perception of increased decision-making

This paper explores the relationship between flexibility in spatial governance partnerships and their legitimacy through the delivery of a major urban extension at the edge of Cambridge City, in the East of England. It demonstrates that flexibility
in resource deployment, has been crucial to delivering outcomes underpinned by the shared vision of sustainable communities. This suggests that future research on partnerships could benefit from a more refined analysis of the different ways in which
flexibility is exercised and how these may enhance or detract from the legitimacy of partnership arrangements.
