{"product_id":"varieties-of-civic-innovation-jennifer-girouard-9780826519993","title":"Varieties of Civic Innovation: Deliberative, Collaborative, Network, and Narrative Approaches","description":"In this collection of original essays, empirical analysts and theorists across disciplines turn a critical eye to a variety of recent institutional forms and styles of innovation. They examine lived reality and theoretical underpinning, promise and accomplishment, but also the pitfalls and capacity-building challenges that face virtually all attempts to bring citizen voice, knowledge, and skill to the center of public problem solving. Their analyses are both hopeful and hard-headed and are guided by commitments to help understand appropriate fit and realistic sustainability. Cases include face-to-face deliberation, online networking and citizen journalism, policy forums, and community and stakeholder planning sessions across local, state and federal contexts. Policy issues run a broad gamut from community and regional economic development and environmental sustainability to minority rights and gay marriage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Girouard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826519997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826519993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanderbilt University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.12h x 7.74w x 0.94d","brand":"Jennifer Girouard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48517503123711,"sku":"9780826519993","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_814291ba-7f21-4889-90f1-df80fdbb082e.jpg?v=1778732023","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/varieties-of-civic-innovation-jennifer-girouard-9780826519993","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
