Abstract: To reveal how local governments can effectively use control and collaboration to improve environmental governance performance in the context of multi-stakeholder co-governance, this paper develops an analytical framework “wicked environmental problems–control strategies–collaboration strategies” from the perspective of dual institutional logics. Using typical environmental governance cases disclosed during the second round of the Central Environmental Protection Inspectorate (CEPI) as data sources, it employs large-sample crisp-set qualitative comparative analysis (csQCA) analysis. The findings indicate that under the influence of dual institutional logics, local governments need to adopt hybrid strategies combining control and collaboration to achieve effective environmental governance performance. Based on heterogeneity external contexts, this paper identifies four matching patterns of hybrid strategies. Among them, the matching between political mobilization and inter-departmental collaboration shows no contextual heterogeneity, whereas the matching between administrative control and cross-actor collaboration does exhibit contextual heterogeneity. As environmental problems become more complex, local governments should enhance their response to collaboration logic and increasingly assume the role of collaborators. This paper fills the gap in the literature regarding how local governments effectively manage dual institutional logics, and provides policy recommendations for appropriately combining control and collaboration strategies to achieve collaborative governance.
