Institutionalising Partnerships reviews three different partnerships and uses the findings to explore what happens beyond the early negotiation and building phases of a partnership. Specifically, it addresses the need to move beyond partnerships that are based on individual 'personalities' to different forms of 'institutionalisation'.
