<span lang="PT">Local governments </span>around the world have increasingly encountered the public policy challenges spanning across multiple jurisdictions. They have dealt with problems of regional significance in a variety of ways. There is a long tradition
of studying intergovernmental collaboration and regional governance in the North America. The number of scholarly contributions to this lively debate in the US and Canada contrasts with the paucity of theoretical attention and empirical investigation of self-organizing
solutions for regional governance outside the North American context.<u></u><u></u></p>

Consolidation or amalgamation of local governments as a top-down approach remains popular in many places. Yet many bottom-up and voluntary solutions to regional collective action dilemmas have emerged as viable alternatives, including networks, interlocal service
agreements and public-private partnership arrangements. They are not well understood outside the U.S. context.

We seek a broad range of manuscripts that explore the use of horizontal, collaborative and voluntary solutions to collective action dilemmas across regions and metropolitan areas around the world. Informal networks, inter-local collaborative arrangements or
associations of municipalities are examples of policy instruments designed to address problems of regional governance in many policy areas, including economic development, environmental sustainability, transportation and urban planning, land use management,
etc.<u></u><u></u></p>
