ABSTRACT
If the issues of how to work across boundaries are some of the ‘most discussed’ (Kelman 2007) in terms of achieving public purpose and the performance of government, what have we learnt from all of this discussion? In the conclusion to this book we return to the fundamental questions and use these to draw together the key findings and lessons from the contributions to this volume. In doing so, we point to similarities and differences, and to enduring tensions and puzzles. Following this, we set out future issues and areas for attention for scholars and practitioners.
