The article addresses basic questions about public value, how, by whom and where is it produced, and how can it be measured. it argues that PV often depends upon processes of co-creation with citizens and users at the front-line. It also argues that public value is a contested concept which depends upon a deliberative process within which competing interests and perspectives can be debated. This requires the creation of a well informed "public" with the consciousness and the capability to engage actively in this kind of democratic dialogue. - Reproduced.
