Religious Beliefs in Collaborative Environmental Governance: Evidence From Indonesia

Public Administration Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how formal and informal institutional logics interact to shape the effectiveness of Collaborative Environmental Governance (CEG). Using fuzzy‐set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) of 34 CEG projects in Indonesia, we identify three distinct pathways to effectiveness: co‐faith‐based, multifaith‐collaborative, and secular‐market,
