Based on the description of the governance domains for the four levels, a number of governance
archetypes can be defined, as presented below, including leading principles:
 Information exchange: exchange of information to facilitate corridor performance;
 Coordination: increased level of coordination;
 Cooperation : a coordinated approach, working closer together, joint systems;
 Integration: integration of systems and working arrangements.
These archetypes can be used to identify the governance development level of a transport corridor.
This can then be the basis for defining actions that best fit that level of governance development. In
the case studies reviewed, both at OIC and non-OIC level, we have placed the corridors in the four
defined development levels, for all seven governance domains. The result of this exercise is
presented in Figure 8.2.
