Interactive Policy Making as a Serious Alternative: Balancing Between an Open and Closed Approach

  • Chapter
Governance in Modern Society

Part of the book series: Library of Public Policy and Public Administration ((LPPP,volume 4))

Abstract

Decision making about large-scale projects, and particularly about the need and necessity for the expansion of new infrastructure projects, is under discussion in several European countries. The discussion no longer only revolves around the question of which projects should be realized. The question how these processes should be organized and managed is also part of the deliberations. Many parties involved in public decision making about infrastructure issues have become dissatisfied with the decision making procedures, methods, speed and results. Infrastructure investments are facing considerable resistance from the private sector, groups of citizens, and also some governmental bodies.
