I was unable to post a message yesterday, but I wanted to offer this comment on collaboration.
I strongly recommend that public participation advocates/sponsors/professionals read two books that bear on how stakeholders can collaborate in environmental decision-making. The first is the National Research Council's Understanding Risk (1996), which discusses the recursive integration of analysis and deliberation. The second is Daniels and Walker's Working through Environmental Conflict (2001), which discusses collaborative learning. In my view, collaborative learning, based on soft systems methodology and conflict resolution theory, is an ideal way to facilitate framing analyses in deliberation and to inform deliberation from those analyses.
