Sommario/riassunto |
|
There is consensus that good governance is participatory governance (PG), but public officials are often reluctant to adopt such an approach. This book addresses the particular challenge of encouraging these officials to involve citizens in the political process. It discusses issues such as identifying PG champions and building trust. |
