Building on recent theories of interactive governance and political
leadership, Interactive Political Leadership develops a concept of
interactive political leadership and a theoretical framework for
studying the role of elected politicians in the age of governance.
The purpose of the theoretical framework is to inspire and guide
empirical research into how elected politicians perform political
leadership in a society where citizens and other stakeholders play
an active role in making and implementing political decisions and
what barriers, challenges, and dilemmas they encounter in relation
to the performance of interactive political leadership. The
research framework draws extensively on recent theories of
interactive governance and political leadership and other new
developments in political science and public administration
research. Moreover, it finds inspiration in current tendencies and
embryonic examples of interactive political leadership performed by
elected politicians operating at different levels of governance in
Western liberal democracies. The basic assumption is that political
legitimacy is essential for the survival of a political system, and
that interactive political leadership stands out as a promising way
of securing what political scientists denote as input-,
throughput-, output-, and outcome legitimacy in the age of
governance. Hence, interactive political leadership aims to
establish a bridge between representative democracy and emergent
forms of political participation, to promote political learning and
accountability, to strengthen the political entrepreneurship of
elected politicians, and to advance the political system's
implementation capacity through resource mobilization. The book
develops 20 propositions that sets the agenda for a new and much
needed field of empirical research into political leadership in the
age of governance.
