摘要：This paper portrays a polycentric governance system by exploring the evolution of its structure
and the interdependencies of its policymaking venues. It utilizes a semi-automated approach
developed from the institutional grammar to analyze four policymaking venues by their 55
public policies adopted from 2007 through 2019 in the context of oil and gas development in
Colorado, USA. The results show that this governance system continuously evolves through the
adoption of public policies, which modifies its constellation of actors, issues, rules, and deontics
(i.e., imperatives). In analyzing the content of these policies, we show how the four policymaking
venues display interdependencies as well as distinct emphases. The conclusion summarizes the
contributions and raises challenges for advancing knowledge about polycentricity.
