Traditional forms of top-down government are being challenged by the growing complexity of social and political life and the need to mobilize and activate the knowledge, ideas, and resources of private stakeholders. In response, interactive forms of public governance that join public and private actors in collaborative policy are proliferating. This book explores these new forms and their impact on public policy making in different areas and countries. It addresses the need for facilitating and managing interactive policy arenas through the empirical analysis of different forms of metagovernance and the normative implications of interactive policy making through studies of its democratic problems and merits.
