Beyond Government examines how vigorous and truly pluralistic
policy debate has evolved in both mature and emerging democracies
and then suggests how it may be encouraged from within and
sustained by outside assistance. The contributors argue that a
strong democracy thrives on a rich population of organizations and
individuals that respond to the issues of the moment, the concerns
of groups within society that wish to be heard, and the styles of
interaction that seem most appropriate at any given time. The
volume has five parts. In the first, three U.S.-based authors
present models of public debate from the American experience. In
the second part, four authors-two from Latin America and two from
Eastern Europe-chronicle and analyze the public debate that
accompanied their countries' transitions to democracy. The third
section includes chapters on specific areas of policy research, the
fourth shifts attention to the institutions that foster debate, and
the fifth assesses contributions to public debate from abroad by
foundations and the corporate sector. A concluding section looks
ahead to challenges and opportunities.
