This book exposes the barriers to inclusive and effective public
policy making, which are the current decision making paradigm and
commonly held ideas that reduce public policy problems to
scientific and technical ones. Through both environmental policy
and other decision making examples, readers are shown the
commonalities of all decision making. Solution-oriented
practitioners and stakeholders will find this book filling a
conceptual and methodological gap in existing policy literature and
practice. The authors deftly guide readers from post-normal
science, wicked problems, and uncertainty concepts to a
conceptually-grounded, practical implementation of a new approach,
the open solution approach. The Multi-criteria Integrated Resource
Assessment (MIRA) is described as the first generation methodology
that fulfills the expectations for the inclusive, transparent, and
learning-based open solutions approach. MIRA is a holistic package
of concepts, methods and analytical tools that is designed to
assess Decision Uncertainty, the combined uncertainties that
include data, problem formulation, expert judgments, and
stakeholder opinions. Introduction of the Requisite Steps, the
common steps found in all decision making, provides the yardstick
for evaluating a variety of decision making processes, decision
tools, and commonly found indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial
Average or the Newsweek Green Ranking of corporations. The use of
anecdotes, policy stories, and case examples makes this a very
readable and practical book for citizens and experts. With this
book, readers are prepared to critically evaluate these common
indices for their personal use as well as challenge policy
processes as a stakeholder. For policy practitioners, this
guidebook will become a rubric to ensure an effective public policy
making process and to critically evaluate decision support tools.
