Abstract

In several policy areas, we have seen the gradual development of more interactive forms of governing, usually labeled as governance, which have took the form of policy networks. In policy networks, governmental actors interact with social, civil and market players, among other relevant stakeholders, seeking their cooperation. In this context, this paper argues that exists a relationship between of the variability of policy networks and cooperation among actors, having in mind that the structural attributes (heterogeneity and integration) mediate this relationship. The article concludes that the variability of these attributes will foster combined actions, superficial interactions and partnerships, being this last kind the more propitious to foster cooperation
