Material type: materialTypeLabelArticlePublisher: 2005Description: p.547-58.Subject(s): Workers participation | Public administration In: Public Administration ReviewSummary: Leaders in public affairs identify tools and instruments for the new governance through networks of public private, and nonprofit organizations. We argue that new governance also involves people- the tool makers and tool users - and the processes through which they participate in the work of government. Practitioners are using new quasi-legislative and quasi-judicial governance processes, including deliberative democracy, e-democracy, public conversations, participatory budgeting, citizen juries, study circles, collaborative policy making, and alternative dispute resolution, to permit citizens and stakeholders to actively participate in the work of government. We assess the existing legal infrastructure authorizing public managers to use new governance processes and discuss a selection of quasi-legislative and quasi-judicial new governance processes in international, federal, state, and local public institutions. We conclude that public administration needs to address these processes in teaching and research to help the public sector develop and use informed best practices. -Reproduced.
