Abstract
This article discusses the bibliometric development of collaborative governance as a phenomenon in Indonesia utilizing Scopus database records from 2020 to 2025. The collaborative governance features structured, sustainable interactions among government agencies, civil society, the private sector, and community groups and has increasingly emerged as a framework for public policy in Indonesia especially after the 1999 reforms promoting decentralization and cross-sector cooperation. While its promises may be found in the potential for improved openness, trust, and shared accountability in public service delivery, several challenges remain, such as institutional silos and human capital constraints. For this reason, the study employs bibliometric analysis with R Studio and Bibliometrix to examine publication trends, leading authors, and thematic clusters relevant to collaborative governance in Indonesia. Results reveal a lopsided emphasis on case studies about Indonesia, meanwhile citing the under-researched aspects such as sustainability, local government, informal networks, participatory budgeting, and digital platforms. This is an avenue of research providing systematic intellectual mapping of collaborative governance.
