In many countries, government and society have undergone a major
shift in recent years, now tending toward 'smaller government' and
'bigger society'. This development has lent increased meaning to
the notion of interactive governance, a concept that this book
takes not as a normative ideal but as an empirical phenomenon that
needs constant critical scrutiny, reflection and embedding in
modern societies. Critical Reflections on Interactive Governance
assesses the fundamental changes we can see in civic engagement in
interactive governance to new forms of civic self-organization.
Eminent scholars across a host of varying disciplines critically
discuss a wealth of surrounding issues such as; the role of
politicians in interactive governance; whether government
strategies - stressing increasing responsibilities for citizens -
exclude and mainstream certain people; the type of leadership
required for interactive governance to work and what new forms of
co-production between governmental institutions, civic
organisations and citizens arise. The book concludes with the
prospect of potential hybrid institutional and organizational
arrangements, like the co-operative model to democracy or the
social enterprise, in developing and implementing public services
and products. Astute and engaging, Critical Reflections on
Interactive Governance will appeal to students in the areas of
political science, sociology, public administration and
organization management. Scholars and practitioners in the field of
interactive governance, participation and civic self-organization
will also be particularly interested in this book. Contributors
