The research on collaborative governance has focused on the upstream problems concerning the recruitment of actors, facilitation of collaboration and the fostering of agreement. However, the main problems are possibly located downstream after a decision is made and thus relate to the implementation of joint solutions the evaluation of the results and the attempt to hold the actors to account. Base on new theoretical developments, this article explores some radical and disruptive responses to these downstream problems. Or findings is that while these responses are making good progress in solving downstream problems, we are not quite there yet.
