Beskrivning

This important book is a response to crises of public policy. Offering an original contribution to a growing debate, the authors argue that traditional technocratic ways of designing policy are inadequate to cope with increasingly complex challenges, and suggest co-production as a more democratic alternative. Drawing on 12 compelling international contributions from practitioners, policy makers, activists and actively engaged academics, ideas of power are used to explore how genuine democratic involvement in the policy process from those outside the elites of politics can shape society for the better. The authors present insights on why and how to generate change in policy processes, arguing for increased experimentation in policy design. The book will be a valuable resource for researchers and students in public policy, public administration, sociology and politics.

Recensioner i media

"An important contribution at the forefront of debates about the future of public policy and public services. The authors have assembled an impressive range of contributors and skilfully drawn together a narrative that convincingly integrates theory and practice" Janet Newman, The Open University "This accessible text on co-production is long overdue. It draws together academic, policy and practice insights to advance knowledge and thinking in relation to participatory policy making and research." Lisa Goodson, University of Birmingham "An excellent analysis of the policy process, why it doesn't work and how it can work. With a focus on design principles, it brings together a strong cast of contributors from the academic, policy and practice worlds to show what an intelligent approach to co-production really means. Essential reading." Marilyn Taylor, Institute for Voluntary Action Research and University of the West of England
