This study investigates characteristics of partnerships between local governments hypothesizing that they would differ according to subjects of collaborative projects, tiers of local government, and administrative jurisdictions. For this purpose, a complete enumeration of collaborative projects of Korean local governments from 1995 to 2007 years was performed using cross-tabulation analysis. The results of empirical analysis find statistically significant relationships between tier systems and subjects of collaborative projects and between administrative jurisdictions and subjects of collaborative systems. Based on these findings, the researcher recommends that upper-and lower-level local governments should build partnership strategies which are distinct from each other and that partnerships across administrative jurisdictions and partnerships within administrative jurisdictions should be treated differently considering different administrative environments.
