From government to governance?
Date: 9 October 2008
Time: 12:00 - 2:15pm
Venue: NCVO, London
Véronique has added details to our driver on public participation in decision making about a forthcoming event on this issue. The lunchtime seminar is the second in a series organised by NCVO and the ESRC NGPA programme to stimulate discussion and debate, drawing together knowledge and promote learning on civil society.
This seminar is looking at shifts in governance and how voluntary and community organisations and other civil society organisations in the UK as well as overseas are experiencing the shift from government to governance.
The speakers are:
- Taylor and Jo Howard (University of the West of England) who will explore the ways in which third sector organisations experience and ‘navigate the tensions’ of working in new governance spaces in Bulgaria, Nicaragua and the UK.
- Heather Blakey (University of Bradford) who will review a range of municipal innovations in public participation and policy-making in Latin America and the UK.
- Karin Gavelin (Involve) who will draw out implications for policy and practice.
