Although the multicommunity collaboration strategy shows promise and has theoretical and intuitive support, the strategy is relatively untested. For example, none of the efforts has resulted in a reverse in population decline, and collaboration does not necessarily result in increased local capacity. The authors offer insight from the perspectives of economics, regional planning, political science, and sociology.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/278731}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.278731}, }
