>>
>>
>> I am looking for a few proposals to round out a pre-organized
>> session engaging questions about collaborative planning/
>> deliberative democracy and civic society for ACSP this fall. This
>> year’s conference theme focuses metropolitan areas, where planning
>> decision making increasingly depends on collaboration. At the same
>> time actors from civic society play important roles in a range of
>> activities of interest to planners such as participants in
>> deliberative forums, promoters of specific planning issues and
>> insurgents to government activities. Civic organizations thus play
>> a critical role in supporting, protesting, augmenting or even
>> prompting government planning. This session invites papers
>> considering the multi-faceted roles civic society plays in
>> collaborative planning processes and the creation of plans.
>>
>>
>> Examples could include, but are not limited to:
>>
>> Use of coercive or strategic action by actors in civic society in
>> deliberative forums or within a deliberative system
>> Ability of civic organizations to increase or diminish diverse
>> perspectives in collaborative processes
>> Deliberations conducted by non-governmental organizations
>> Collaborative forum designs that attempt to account for power
>> (In)equality of planning process outcomes
>> Explanations of variations in the role of civic society in planning
>> activities in different places (i.e. cities or nations)
>> Explorations of the relationship between deliberative democracy or
>> collaborative planning and civic society
>>
>> Please email Marisa Zapata (zapata@???) if you are interested
>> in participating by Friday March 13. I will submit the proposal by
>> the end of the day of the 13th and the email you the corresponding
>> numbers and passwords. Please let me know if you have any questions.
