Lecture 5 Flashcards
(11 cards)
Ansell & Torfing focus on Co-Production vs. Co-Creation. What do these two concepts mean?
- Co-production focuses on involving service users in designing and delivering public services (e.g., parents assisting in school activities).
- Co-creation extends this idea to a broader scale, involving multiple actors (e.g., citizens, NGOs, private firms) in tackling public challenges like urban planning or climate change.
Name three characteristics of Co-Creation (according to Ansell & Torfing).
- Innovative Problem Solving
- Diverse Actors
- Public Value Creation
Ansell & Torfing say Co-Creation requires “generative governance” to enable productive interactions among stakeholders. What does this mean?
Generative Governance is a collaborative approach that creates platforms and spaces (arena’s) to bring diverse actors together, enabling innovative and collective problem-solving for public value.
What are the 3 advantages of policy integration according to Candel?
- Effectiveness
- Efficiency
- Political Alignment
What are the 3 disadvantages of policy integration according to Candel?
- Effectiveness and Efficiency (paradoxal)
- Trade-offs
- Conflicts with Other Values
Which two key factors does Candel name to control the feasability of policy integration?
- Integrative Capacity: The skills, resources, and institutional structures needed to enable effective integration.
- Integrative Leadership: Leadership that unites diverse actors, facilitates collaboration, and drives crosscutting initiatives.
Mintrom & Noormannetje talk about policy entrepreneurship. Name the 4 elements that are central in their article.
- Social Acuity
- Defining problems
- Building teams
- Leading by example
Mintrom & Noormannetje name 5 mainstream theories of policy change:
- Incrementalism
- Policy streams
- Institutionalism
- Punctuated equilibrium
- Advocacy coalitions
Why is co-creation more important than co-production (Ansell & Torfing)
Co-creation is essential for tackling today’s “wicked problems” because it combines diverse perspectives, resources, and expertise. While co-production is valuable, its narrower scope limits its ability to address systemic challenges.
What is the difference between these 2 general institutions (Ansell & Torfing):
- Platforms
- Arena’s
- Platforms are permanent infrastructure to provide collaboration.
- Arena’s are temporary and ‘self-organized’ spaces for joint action.
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical policy integration? (Candel)
Horizontal = Across same governance level
Vertical = Across difference governance levels
