“Integrating Research and Curricular Development in Collaborative Governance”
2007 NASPAA Annual Conference: Embracing the Certainty of UncertaintyThursday, October 11, 2007
Seattle, Washington
Public affairs programs worldwide are revising and updating their curricula in order to prepare their graduates to be leaders in a work environment that places less of an emphasis on hierarchical management, but more on negotiation, collaboration, contractual relations, and civic engagement. In view of these emerging challenges for public affairs education, the Consortium on Collaborative Governance (CCG) -- a partnership among three universities -- seeks to draw on the strengths of the participating schools, encouraging research on the impact and efficacy of cross-sectoral collaboration in public policy, planning, and management. This panel of four speakers provided an overview of the CCG, and the research and curricular development in collaborative governance in each of the three schools.
