Rezensionen

"This is a wide-ranging book that provides important information for anyone hoping to utilize the concepts of collaborative governance. The book is very timely as we find ourselves increasingly facing challenges to legal authority and political legitimacy in a backdrop characterized by disparities in wealth, serious questions surrounding racial justice and equality for all, and the looming dangers of climate change. The text is particularly useful in providing concrete advice for keeping the process of multi-party decision making on track once actual people get involved and introduce the types of challenges that inevitably arise in collaborative efforts."

Eric Henson, Harvard University, USA

"Collaborative Governance is a must read for students, practitioners and academics who are interested in the art and science of creating and sustaining collective agreements both within and outside formal structures of political authority. Unlike many popular books grounded in psychological techniques for resolving conflicts, this book draws from political science and sociology to identify the social and institutional conditions that need to be in place to create agreements that last. The book provides a pathway for addressing intractable an wicked community problems."

Douglas Morgan, Portland State University, USA
