Participation in multi-level policy implementation: exploring the influence of governance culture
Gollata J.A.M., Kochskämper E., Jager N.W., Newig J. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/09640568.2021.1876002 Abstract: In environmental governance, participatory modes of political decision-making and planning are becoming more prevalent. A rationalist model of governance would assume that instrumental rationales prevail in choosing participatory process designs. Some argue, however, that public policy-makers also follow administrative…
Co-creating local socioeconomic pathways for achieving the sustainable development goals
Szetey, K., Moallemi, E.A., Ashton, E. et al. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11625-021-00921-2 Abstract: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) recognise the importance of action across all scales to achieve a sustainable future.
