Deliberative policy analysis understanding governance in the network society
edited by Maarten Hajer
Deliberative policy analysis understanding governance in the network society - Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2003 - xv, 307 p. : ill., maps ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 266-296) and indexes.
Large-scale social and political changes have revolutionized policy-making. Traditionally, policy analysis has been state-centered, based on the assumption that central government is self-evidently the locus of government. However, policy-making is often carried out today in loosely organized networks of public authorities, citizen associations and private enterprises. The contributors to this book argue that democratic governance now calls for a new deliberatively-oriented policy analysis. They provide examples from around the world to demonstrate how this would work in practice.
