Collaborative governance is a topical regional issue and is considered as a tool to establish, steer, facilitate, operate and monitor arrangements to address cross-jurisdiction public policy problems. It has been receiving attention in the developed countries for decades before starting to emerge in many developing countries in the 1990s. Following the decentralization in 1999, Indonesia experienced the sudden transformation from a centralized to a decentralized system. The rapid change of system together with increasing demand of urban service push the local governments to search for a new mechanism of regional governance through collaboration that correspond to the current system. This paper aims to identify the structure of current collaborative governance in Indonesia through in depth analysis of the existing institutional structure of horizontally and vertically linked organizations in four metropolitan regions. Findings suggest that the structure and variation of collaborative governance varied according to the tendency of vertical and horizontal interaction adopted in the jurisdiction. Interaction between actors, thus, plays consequential role in the development of collaboration that are more visible in institutionally fragmented regional setting.
