ABSTRACT

Social integration and sustainable inclusion are critical for balancing economic growth, social justice, and environmental sustainability. This study aims to identify methodological approaches and institutional structures that promote the strengthening of social inclusion and its role in achieving sustainable development goals at the local, regional, and national levels. Using elements of a systematic review toolkit, we conducted an in-depth analysis of policies and strategies regulating social inclusion within united communities. The study utilised content analysis and case study methodologies to synthesise existing knowledge and critically evaluate relevant literature. Our findings highlight that the successful implementation of social inclusion requires a comprehensive approach that considers the environmental component and integrates it at all levels of governance. Key factors of inclusive policymaking within collaborative governance include resilient institutional structures, effective stakeholder engagement, and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. This ensures the long-term and coordinated implementation of initiatives to create an inclusive and environmentally sustainable society. Summarizing theoretical studies and case studies allowed demonstrating high efficiency of collaborative governance for inclusion and sustainable development, under the condition of properly organized management within collaboration networks.
