Inter-organizational cooperation is a process in which independent actors interact through formal and informal negotiations and jointly establish the rules and structures governing their relationships and the ways in which they decide and implement common issues. For this purpose, a set of different principles, rules, norms and tools are used to guide communication between different organizations to solve various problems. In some studies, which are often experimental; Inter-organizational collaboration has been described as a way of dealing with complex concepts - such as rapidly changing policy areas or the issue of coordination among a large number of actors. Applying different principles, techniques, structures and norms can enhance and facilitate collaboration between different organizations. Various researchers with different theoretical and empirical studies have tried to combine the optimal and appropriate combination of these principles, structures and tools in a way that formulates and prescribes a comprehensive framework for inter-organizational cooperation in solving policy issues. This study, by examining the existing theoretical and experimental literature, seeks to examine and analyze the factors affecting inter-organizational cooperation. The results show that five macro variables of governance, organizational-administrative, personal characteristics, trust and environment affect inter-organizational cooperation. Each of these variables also has separate variables.
