Participatory Governance : Planning, Conflict Mediation and Public Decision-Making in Civil Society, Paperback / softback Book

Participatory Governance : Planning, Conflict Mediation and Public Decision-Making in Civil Society Paperback / softback

Edited by W. Robert Lovan, Michael Murray, Ron Shaffer

Paperback / softback

Description

In recent years a new participatory governance dynamic has been redefining relationships and responsibilities in the planning and implementation of policies and programs.

Participatory governance not only crosses public, private and associational sectors, but is also intra-organizational.

It allows for individual and collective participation, and challenges longstanding norms of institutional behavior. This book examines fresh evidence relating to planning, conflict mediation and public decision-making processes in civil society by bringing together a multi-disciplinary team of practitioners and scholars from North America, Europe, Africa and Australia.

In an analysis which spans institutional perspectives and operational concerns, the contributors explore the dynamics of stakeholder involvement as deliberative processes constructed around the core idea of shared responsibility.

The book draws out important principles as to how this diversity of engagement can translate itself into more effective public decision-making.
