Abstract
This paper analyses the Spanish Network of Smart Cities (RECI) from the point of view of coordination mechanisms and network performance, focusing in particular on policy learning capabilities and efficiency-based policies. The paper seeks to analyse the extent to which the RECI network has the capacity to bring about successful outcomes in smart city public policies in Spain. The selection of this
particular case is based on an interest in understanding changes in public policy management at the local level in contemporary Spain, and it is also motivated by the fact that city governance networks arise in other geographical settings. Thus there is a challenge and a need to sharpen analytical tools in order to understand the features, impact, and success of these networks on a global scale.
