Boundaries have been essential for defining distinct and specific roles for politicians and public servants. However, boundaries are creating a new world that opens up government to outsiders and increasingly calls for shared policy and administrative space within government. The policymaking process within government is now much more horizontal, porous and complex, while decision-making has become consultative. Boundaries have been affected by several factors, including the arrival of e-government, the increasingly complex and interconnected nature o f public policy issues, the rise of interest groups, and new organizational sites. The implications for political actors and public servants, for citizens and the concept of accountability, are far-reaching. - Reproduced.  aPublic administration  aAccountability  aCanadian Public Administration
