Mandatory policy networks are an important collaborative governance model for crisis response. To reveal the operation and effectiveness of public sector-led crisis governance at the development zone level, this study draws on collaborative governance theory to develop a theoretical framework that reveals the external constraints, collaborative dynamics, collaborative actions, and collaborative outcomes of crisis governance in development zones. Based on qualitative research methods, this study analyzes pandemic prevention policy documents issued during the pandemic by China's national economic and technological development zones and their localities to reflect the complete process of governance. The findings indicate that a mandatory policy network, guided by a local governance framework, facilitated the rapid achievement of collaboration in development zones in responding to the crisis. Top-down leadership developed over time in the public sector, and the responsiveness and innovation of enterprises and social organizations played an important role in collaborative governance. Wins at each stage of the governance process are necessary for the continuation of collaborative actions and can drive the adaptation of a collaborative approach in development zones.
强制性政策网络是危机应对中的一种重要合作治理模式。为揭示开发区层面公共部门主导的危机治理的运作情况和成效，本研究借鉴合作治理理论，构建了一个理论框架，以揭示开发区危机治理的外部约束、合作动态、合作行动和合作成果。基于定性研究方法，本研究分析了中国国家级经济技术开发区及其所在地区在疫情期间发布的疫情防控政策文件，以反映治理的全过程。研究结果表明，在地方治理框架的引导下，强制性政策网络促进了开发区在应对危机时迅速达成合作。公共部门自上而下的领导力随着时间的推移而发展，企业和社会组织的响应能力和创新在合作治理中发挥了重要作用。治理过程各阶段的胜利对于合作行动的持续进行是必要的，并且能够推动开发区合作方式的调整。
