In this article, the governance roles are considered to be clusters of consistent choices on a top-down versus bottom-up continuum, regarding nine governance activities. Our results reveal that three governance roles can be discerned: top-down, intermediate and bottom-up governance roles. Furthermore, these roles are applied by municipalities with specific (network) characteristics. Our results pen the black box of network governance and might facilitate municipalities to make choices regarding their role in the new network era ; http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14719037.2012.664013#abstract ; DOI:10.1080/14719037.2012.664013
