Analyzing emerging practices of collaboration in planning and public policy to overcome the challenges complexity, fragmentation and uncertainty, the authors present a new theory of collaborative rationality, to help make sense of the new practices. They enquire in detail into how collaborative rationality works, the theories that inform it, and the potential and pitfalls for democracy in the twenty-first century. Representing the authors’ collective experience based upon over thirty years of research and practice, this is insightful reading for students, educators, scholars, and reflective practitioners in the fields of urban planning, public policy, political science and public administration.

Review

"Anyone who works in the public policy arena needs to know what Innes and Booher have to say about collaborative rationality." - Professor Lawrence Susskind, Department of Urban Studies and Planning, Massachusetts Institute of Technology   www.theconsensusbuildingapproach.blogspot.com

"...a wonderful bringing together of 15 years work... the best thing to come out in our field in the past decade" - Professor Leonie Sandercock, School of Community and Regional Planning, The University of British Columbia

"‘[this] book captures the theory and practice of collaborative governance in an accessible way that students can relate to and helps them to begin to reflect on how to incorporate some of this wisdom into their own thinking, practice, and research.’" - Professor Will Butler, Florida State University

"They illustrate [their theory of collaborative rationality] primarily with reference to six diverse case studies of attempts at collaborative planning approaches across the United States. These case studies cover issues relating to water resources, community policing, decommissioning of military sites, comprehensive planning at state level, and growth management, and are discussed in a sequence that flows from the most to the least successful, allowing the authors to develop some key theoretical and practical insights into what works and what does not." - Environment and Planning

"Innes and Booher have provided an important book for those interested generally in the design and practice of policymaking processes, which gives particular attention to the microdynamics of the interactive practices of policy making. It should help those many researchers who are examining particular instances of collaborative policy making, to help them position their work as a contribution to advancing understanding of such processes. And it should be required reading for all those in the planning theory field interested in the debates surrounding communicative planning theory and collaborative planning." – Patsy Healey, Journal of Planning Theory & Practice

"It is not often that one can describe a planning book as really imparting wisdom, but Planning with Complexity is an exception to the rule... This book not only contributes to contemporary planning theory - by grounding it in practice evidence - but also is highly relevant to work on environmental justice and on science and environmental planning more generally. It is to be profoundly hoped that it will be taken up across disciplines to get its message across." - Yvonne Rydin, Journal of Planning Education and Research

Excellent but Not Perfect
By Robert David STEELE Vivas
The authors claim to be addressing a new theory of collaborative rationality. The Native Americans called this "seventh generation thinking." It is neither new nor rational alone, but rather holistic. I bought and read this book along with Democracy as Problem Solving: Civic Capacity in Communities Across the Globe, and the two go very well together. Both are directly founded on John Dewey's 1927 work, Public & Its Problems, and both fail to mention Will Durant's 1916 thesis, Philosophy and the Social Problem: The Annotated Edition.

Key ingredients are thinking differently, dialog as information discovery and exchange, and knowledge operations via dialog--Juanita Brown and David Isaacs call this The World Cafe: Shaping Our Futures Through Conversations That Matter.

This is an academic/policy wonk work, and as much as I like it, it simply does not acknowledge the pioneering by such people as Tom Atlee The Tao of Democracy: Using co-intelligence to create a world that works for all and Reflections on Evolutionary Activism: Essays, poems and prayers from an emerging field of sacred social change; Jim Rough, pioneer of Citizen Wisdom Councils, Society's Breakthrough!: Releasing Essential Wisdom and Virtue in All the People, and so on. There is no Emergence, Integral Consciousness, or Conscious Evolution (all titles of books) in this work. It is a policy process from an academic view book.

I certainly find it interesting, and agree with the early observations, that traditional quantitative planning falls short; that cronies are the default for all decision-makers, irrespective of the quality and quantity of facts available; and that the adversarial approach is a lose-lose proposition most of the time.

The book lays down the redirection away from top-down "fixes" and instead toward creating and implementing new forms of deliberation among a broader diversity of stakeholders.

I like very much the core finding that continuing uncertainly *can* be dealt with by continuing dialog. Two other books where this point is made in different ways are The Philanthropy of George Soros: Building Open Societies and Kent Myers' Reflexive Practice: Professional Thinking for a Turbulent World. As a professional intelligence officer I have been dealing with the challenges of ambiguity and complexity all my life, and did not realize until 1988 that a major part of the problem was the 1950's mind-sets with 1970's stove-pipes lacking access to virtually everyone with information to offer.

The early part of the book offers a devastating (and articulate) summary of all the reasons why government today is neither effective nor trusted. I like to say government lacks intelligence and integrity in the Buckminster Fuller and Russell Ackoff sense of the words, see:

Ideas and Integrities: A Spontaneous Autobiographical Disclosure
Redesigning Society (Stanford Business Books)

Three trends the authors identify:

01. Linear formal process being replaced by nonlinear socially-constructed processes (no mention of corruption)

02. Scientific knowledge is no longer the only knowledge at the table, other knowledges are now entertained, with lay local knowledge being among the most prized (never mind that 1% at the top could care less and make the decisions absent any concern for the public interest).

03. New forms of reasoning include story telling and role playing. For the best book on story telling see Steve Denning's The Springboard: How Storytelling Ignites Action in Knowledge-Era Organizations (KMCI Press).

Although I am myself a pioneer of open source intelligence and multinational information-sharing, I learn from and like the emphasis by the authors on how a collaborative process is a continuous learning process.

The authors are polite but certain in condemning the fields of public policy, public administration, and political science for failing and being out of touch with reality, and with two graduate degrees and other diplomas in those three areas I have to agree.

The authors take a stab at connecting complexity science and its emphasis on complex adaptive systems, and that is good, but as one who has published on the various information pathologies from forbidden and forgotten knowledge, lost history, fog facts, missing information, manufactured consent, propaganda, and rule by secrecy (all titles of books) I am disappointed. This is a book about the emergent process, but it does not address information challenges or ethical challenges at all.

On page 85 there are eight findings that bear notation:

01 Face to face dialog is essential to discovery of mutual benefits
02 Missing parties can mean the process might be unsustainable
03 Small group tasks can contribute to larger consensus
04 Ability to challenge assumptions and conduct free-wheeling dialog is essential
05 Power differentials can interfere with wise decisions (e.g. rankism)
06 Dialog developing shared knowledge and shared meaning is vital to sustainable decisions
07 Staffing (including facilitation?) is essential to complex processes
08 Relationships, not facts, are the key ingredient for lasting outcomes

Key ingredients for nurturing a creative multi-stakeholder process:

01 Incentive structure
02 Leaders and sponsors
03 Inclusionary decision-making
04 Dedicated staffing
05 Negotiating text and evolving agreement
06 Adaptiveness as a culture

Chapter 6 on Knowledge Into Action is my favorite.

QUOTE (144): "In this chapter we will make the case that for knowledge to motivate action, it not only has to be tailor-made to particular times, places, and conditions, but also that dialogue has to be a crucial part of both developing and using it."

BOOM. There goes the US Intelligence Community, $80 billion a year in waste--they don't do any of this. Seek out information on the new craft of intelligence and see also my CounterPunch article, "Intelligence for the President--AND Everyone Else."

QUOTE (144): "Evidence abounds that decision makers do not make substantive use of the findings of the research social scientists and analysts provide to them."

Chapter 7 focused on the importance of local knowledge and observes that without local knowledge, it is not possible to achieve justice or resilience. Missing too often are the actual voices of the disadvantaged.

There is an excellent graphic on page 202.

The conclusion suggests that network governance is here to stay, but there really is nothing in this book about digital natives, generation 2.0, web 4.0, or the four quadrants that I have been speaking to over close to fifteen years (knowledge management, social networking, external research, and organizational intelligence).

Three features of adaptave governance:

01 Diversity in its agents and components
02 Ample opportunity for interaction among all the agents
03 Effective methods for selection of appropriate actions.

A final quote:

QUOTE (209): Networks may primarily improve information-sharing or they may serve as forums for public policy deliberation, decision making, and implementation. By connecting diverse actors around specific problems or geographic areas, networks build sensitivity to local realities that centralized government often cannot achieve. They also increase coordiantion across many boundaries such as those between government agencies, levels of government, experts from different fields, and opposing ideological camps.

Missing from this book is a recognition that in whole systems governance, you not only have to engage all of the stakeholderes, but you also have to connect the dots across all threats, all policy domains, all demographics. It is not possible to make responsible agricultural policy without also making responsible policy for diplomacy, economy, education, energy, family, health, immigration, justice, security, and society. Everything is connected.

With my last link, the single best book on both hybrid governance and the 20 problems we face:

This is an excellent research-based book on collaboration
By John M. Bryson
Judith Innes and David Booher's book on planning with complexity is an extremely important contribution to the literature on how to advance the common good in collaborative, shared-power, no-one-fully-in-charge settings. Based on a number of very detailed case studies and a good understanding of the relevant literatures (to which they themselves have contributed), the book carefully explores what can be done, how, and why when organizations must cooperate if they are to achieve good results beyond what they can achieve separately. John M. Bryson, McKnight Presidential Professor of Planning and Public Affairs, University of Minnesota

A very important book
By Tom King
This is a book that ought to be widely read by planners, policy makers and decision makers inside and outside government. It carefully identifies the weaknesses in current planning/public involvement processes, and prescribes a thoughtful route to improvement. Unfortunately I fear that its impact will be limited by its (understandable but still probably counterproductive) effort to develop an explicitly theoretical basis for its practical prescriptions; this is likely to try the patience of many practitioners. It also rather explicitly limits application of its principles to a somewhat narrow range of situations in which there is understood interdependence among the participants. This doubtless reflects reality, but reduces its apparent relevance to much of the everyday world of planning and decision making. BUT there is much food for thought here, and it's imminently worth reading.

The book examines how films draw on the Old and New Testament and the figure of Jesus Christ in various direct and indirect ways to develop their plots, characters, and themes. As well as movies that set out explicitly to retell biblical stories in their ancient context, it explores the ways in which contemporary, fictional feature films make use of biblical narrative.

Topics covered include:

• how filmmakers make use of scripture to address and reflect their own time and place.
• the Bible as a vehicle through which films can address social and political issues, reflect human experiences and emotions, explore existential issues such as evil and death, and express themes such as destruction and redemption.
• the role of the Bible as a source of ethics and morality, and how this connection is both perpetuated and undermined in a range of contemporary Hollywood films.
• films that create an experience of transcendence, and the ways in which the Bible figures in that experience.

Reinhartz offers insightful analysis of numerous films including The Ten Commandments and The Shawshank Redemption, paying attention to visual and aural elements as well as plot, character, and dialogue. Students will find this an invaluable guide to a growing field.

Review

"Reinhartz is the leading interpreter of the use of the Bible in film. In this volume she provides readers with a helpful overview of the subject, raising a host of significant questions and unpacking a wide variety of relevant movies. It is a must-read book for anyone interested in the field." - Robert K. Johnston, Fuller Theological Seminary, USA and author of Reel Spirituality

"Reinhartz deftly shows how cinematic representations of the Bible always reflect the values of the times in which the films are made, as she examines how gender, race, class, and other ideological constructs influence the adaptation of the Bible onto the screen. Through a wide range of examples from biblical epics to modern comedies, her analysis suggests that these films tell us more about contemporary society than about biblical times, as we see how films have used the Bible to validate American exceptionalism, and to structure modern ideas about redemption, morality, apocalyptic, and transcendence." - John Lyden, Liberal Arts Core Director, Grand View University, USA

About the Author

Adele Reinhartz is a Professor in the Department of Classics and Religious Studies at the University of Ottawa, Canada. She has authored a number of books on the intersection of Bible and film, including Scripture on the Silver Screen (2003), Jesus of Hollywood (2007) and Bible and Cinema: Fifty Key Films (2012).

Godwired offers an engaging exploration of religious practice in the digital age. It considers how virtual experiences, like stories, games and rituals, are forms of world-building or "cosmos construction" that serve as a means of making sense of our own world. Such creative and interactive activity is, arguably, patently religious.

This book examines:

• the nature of sacred space in virtual contexts
• technology as a vehicle for sacred texts
• who we are when we go online
• what rituals have in common with games and how they work online
• what happens to community when people worship online
• how religious "worlds" and virtual "worlds" nurture similar desires.

Rachel Wagner suggests that whilst our engagement with virtual reality can be viewed as a form of religious activity, today’s virtual religion marks a radical departure from traditional religious practice – it is ephemeral, transient, rapid, disposable, hyper-individualized, hybrid, and in an ongoing state of flux.

Review

'Godwired is a timely, relevant, and sophisticated book. It is an insightful, well-informed discussion of game theories, storytelling, and the religious imagination, offering a convincing argument about how playing games can, at times, participate in the construction of worlds, and worlds of meaning.' – Gary Laderman, Emory University, USA

'Rachel Wagner explores the intersection of the two other-worlds known to human beings; the supernatural world of the spiritual, and the virtual world created by on-line communication technologies. In doing so, she brings new light to scholarship in both religious studies and new media studies, both of which can profit from her research in this book. It is a fascinating study that is sure to provoke further discussion.' – Mark J. P. Wolf, Concordia University Wisconsin, USA

'Wagner goes far beyond simply demonstrating the presence of something the religious scholar would recognize in games, web sites, and Second Life. She helps us understand the religious and theological implications of the emerging media culture and identify as well as understand the locations of the religious impulse within it. […] Readable and teachable, the book holds clear promise to advance the emerging discourse on religion and virtual reality.' – Jeffrey H. Mahan, Iliff School of Theology, USA in Religious Studies Review

The current fashion for rolling back the state has seen the nonprofit or third sector playing an increasing role in what were previously the heartlands of the public sphere. The growing significance of the sector and its increasing reliance on public funds mean it has also attracted increased scrutiny. From outside the sector concerns have been raised about the accountability and performance of nonprofit organizations. From within the sector there has been considerable debate about whether the increased reliance on government contracts is in danger of undermining the sector’s independence. As a result the spotlight has fallen on governance arrangements and whether they are adequate to ensure that nonprofit organizations are effective and accountable for their actions, and able to retain their independence.

This collection offers a comprehensive assessment of research on the governance of nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit governance research has been dominated by the study of boards of unitary organizations and has paid insufficient attention to the multi-level nature of governance, governance relationships and dynamics, and the contribution of actors other than board members, to governance processes.

Drawing on the research of leading scholars in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, this book presents new perspectives on non-profit governance, which help to overcome these weaknesses. Written in an accessible manner the book will be of value to scholars, researchers, students, reflective practitioners and governance consultants and advisers.

Review

'This new and illuminating study of non-profit governance advances both the theory and our practical understanding of how non-profit leaders do and should govern their institutions. It is a "must buy" book for students, academics and practitioners alike.' - Stephen Lee, Professor of Voluntary Sector Management, Cass Business School, UK

'Chris Cornforth and William A. Brown have here been able to put together a book that many will highly appreciate. The not-for-profit sector has for decades had a tremendous growth, and the governance of not-for-profit organizations is an extremely important topic that has not got the attention it should have had. On the other side the book shows that not-for-profit governance has much to teach for-profit organizations about governance. In this book we find a language about governance questions that is considerably further developed than what we find in most academic books about for-profit governance, and there are several thought provoking cases that also should be taken into account when understanding for-profit organizations. I find in particular interesting the presentations about the power games and activities inside the boardroom, the use of alternative sets of governance theories, and the dynamics based on how board designs will change over time and depend on the context. '

Morten Huse, Reinhard Mohn Endowed Chair of Managment and Governance, University of Witten/Herdecke, Germany and Professor of Organization and Management, BI Norwegian Business School

'Research on nonprofit governance would certainly be very different without the contributions of Chris Cornforth and William A. Brown. We therefore should be happy they took the trouble in collecting this set of state-of –the-research-art chapters on all relevant aspects of the topic.'

Professor Marc Jergen, Vrije Universiteit, Brussels

'Cornforth and Brown have compiled, and expertly edited, a collection of papers that present a fundamentally new, and extremely valuable, perspective on nonprofit governance. They do more than challenge traditional theories of governance. They propose new and promising approaches to understanding the form and function governing bodies and their interactions with the publics they serve.'

Kevin Kearns, Professor and Director Johnson Institute for Responsible Leadership, University of Pittsburgh, USA

'This important book breaks valuable new ground in our understanding of nonprofit governance and offers creative conceptual insights for scholars and highly useful suggestions for improving nonprofit practice including more effective community engagement.'

Steven Rathgeb Smith, Syracuse University, USA

'This volume is solidly researched and well written. Most of the chapters are the work of full-time academics, but those by consultants are also focused on conceptualizing governance rather than simply providing extended blueprints for practitioners. A range of nonprofit organizations is studied, including the arts, health care, and public housing. Contributors look at nonprofits in several countries. Because of the specificity of the findings and the sophistication of the discussion, it should be especially beneficial for current leaders of nonprofit organizations and for graduate students in nonprofit management.'

Patricia Tweet, St. John Fisher College, Rochester, NY, USA

Taking nonoprofits to the next level
By Terry Fernsler
This book not only acknowledges the complexity of governing nonprofit organizations, it embraces it. Too often authors and consultants try to compartmentalize and simplify nonprofit organizations; the result is a myriad of dysfunctional organizations, with leaders not only not knowing what they're doing, but settling for mediocrity,. Cornforth and Brown's collections of essays marks a turning point in recognizing that nonprofits are complex systems that demand holistic thinking.

This edited collection examines changes in national security culture in the wake of international events that have threatened regional or global order, and analyses the effects of these divergent responses on international security.

Tracing the links between national security cultures and preferred forms of security governance the work provides a systematic account of perceived security threats and the preferred methods of response with individual chapters on Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, UK and USA. Each chapter is written to a common template exploring the role of national security cultures in shaping national responses to the four domains of security governance: prevention, assurance, protection and compellence. The volume provides an analytically coherent framework evaluating whether cooperation in security governance is likely to increase among major states, and if so, the extent to which this will follow either regional or global arrangements.

By combining a theoretical framework with strong comparative case studies this volume contributes to the ongoing reconceptualization of security and definition of threat and provides a basis for reaching tentative conclusions about the prospects for global and regional security governance in the early 21st century. This makes it ideal reading for all students and policymakers with an interest in global security and comparative foreign and security policy.

Review

National Security Cultures offers a tightly argued, deeply researched, and empirically encompassing analysis. It establishes the enduring imprints Westphalian and post-Westphalian state structures have on governance in East and West. And it tracks the variable effects of national security cultures on policies spanning the full governance spectrum. An impressive achievement that will become required reading in the field of security studies. - Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor of International Studies, Cornell University, USA

The result of empirical research conducted by an impressive international team of scholars, this is a rigorous and systematic examination of national security cultures across a wide swath of the world. The authors follow a common framework in an exemplary collaborative project which reveals important insights into the fundamental question of the relationship between culture and security policy and the extent to which security concepts in the West can be transferred to other regions. - Stephen F. Szabo, Executive Director of the Transatlantic Academy, USA

Emil Kirchner and James Sperling have produced a welcome addition to the literature on national security cultures by applying the concept to the pressing problem of global and regional security governance.Country experts, area specialists, and international relations theorists with an interest in these topics will all want to consult this volume. - John S. Duffield Professor of Political Science Georgia State University, USA

Interest in security governance has risen and fallen in the past ten years; now again on the rise, the concept is in great need of theoretical exposition and empirical grounding; and that is what this book achieves. In a welcome and highly ambitious study, the focus on security governance - so often constrained to Europe - is examined globally. In all these contexts, it is an exceptionally important book. - Stuart Croft, Professor of International Security, Warwick University. UK

'The collection of essays and the book’s overarching framework make a positive and rich contribution to the international debate on security cultures, strategies and policies.' - The International Spectator, Vol. 46, No. 1 (March 2011), 161

Examining Iran’s recent history through the double lens of domesticity and consumer culture, Domesticity and Consumer Culture in Iran demonstrates that a significant component of the modernization process in Iran advanced beyond political and public spheres.

On the cusp of Iran’s entry into modernity, the rules and tenets that had traditionally defined the Iranian home began to vanish and the influx of new household goods gradually led to the substantial physical expansion of the domestic milieu. Subsequently, architects, designers, and commercial advertisers shifted their attention from commercial and public architecture to the new home and its contents. Domesticity and consumer culture also became topics of interest among politicians, Shiite religious scholars, and the Left, who communicated their respective views via the popular media and numerous other means. In the interim, ordinary Iranian families, who were capable of selectively appropriating aspects of their immediate surroundings, demonstrated their resistance toward the officially sanctioned transformations. Through analyzing a series of case studies that elucidate such phenomena and appraising a wide range of objects and archival documents―from furnishings, appliances, architectural blueprints, and maps to photographs, films, TV series, novels, artworks, scrapbooks, work-logs, personal letters and reports―this book highlights the significance of private life in social, economic, and political contexts of modern Iran.

Tackling the subject of home from a variety of perspectives, Domesticity and Consumer Culture in Iran thus shows the interplay between local aspirations, foreign influences, gender roles, consumer culture and women’s education as they intersect with taste, fashion, domestic architecture and interior design.

Review

"The modern and contemporary history of Iran has been seen more from political and ideological perspectives.Domesticity and Consumer Culture in Iran: Interior Revolutions of the Modern Era is an insightful and brilliantresponse to this gap in scholarship." - Ehsan Lor Afshar, The New School for Social Research, New York, USA, Journal of Design History

"Pamela Karimi’s Domesticity and Consumer Culture in Iran is a thought-provoking examination of the intersection of domestic architecture, consumerism, and the social transformation of taste in twentieth-century Iran." - Talinn Grigor, Brandeis University, Traditional Dwellings and Settlements Review

"A really good social analysis can take a seemingly minor issue and use it as a lens through which to examine multiple aspects of a complex system. Pamela Karimi has done exactly that in her impressively researched study of Domesticity and Consumer Culture in Iran....this is a fascinating and wideranging study, exemplary in the breadth and depth of scholarship Karimi has brought to bear. It will be enormously valuable to anyone interested in issues of urbanization, gender roles, experiences of modernity and modernization, consumer culture and aesthetics, and Iranian social and material history. Karimi is one of the first scholars to consider the role of consumer culture in making the Iranian experience of modernity ... but this book will not only be of interest to scholars of Iran." -Norma Claire Moruzzi, Middle East Report (Winter 2015)

The greatest
By pogopogo
This book actually motivated me to learn French because I knew this: if I could just learn the words in this book and get through a basic French grammar, I would be able to read 90% of normal French (Le Monde, say), which is enough to make learning the rest of the language self-sustaining, easy and fun.

The big secret about learning languages is that they're usually taught badly. You get "units" about "everyday life" and learn those terms--this week it's shopping and you learn random junk like how Jean would buy a hair-dryer. The trouble is, "hair-dryer" really isn't that useful to know early-on, whereas other obscure-seeming words really are. Example: my textbook had me learn "gorge" (throat) almost right away, even though it's only the 4194th most common word, whereas it never did teach me "souhaiter" (wish), even though it's the 403rd most common. That's wrong by an order of magnitude. This makes learning to read hard and confusing. (On the other hand, I'm all set next time I'm buying a hairdryer for my sore throat in France.) So, this dictionary makes the whole experience more rational and easier.

Two more thoughts: 5000 words isn't as bad as it sounds: it counts cognates separately, so related nouns/verbs are double-counted, but you only need learn them once, and of course you'll know very many of these words from English. Also, this is most helpful for reading, probably. It's best of all for autodidacts--using this and a basic grammar, I was able to go from nothing to reading daily papers, Le Petit Prince, and now Moliere in less than a year, without classes while working. Yablas can help with aural learning these days, so with some initiative and a book like this you can learn on your own.

Fast track to read French articles, understand movie dialogues and French radio podcast
By Good Reader
I learned French in college for two years up to intermediate level and another 9 months at the Alliance Francaise after that, yet my French was practically non existent, so I gave up studying.

I believe that part of the problem is the way the language is being taught, we learned vocabularies which are not really relevant to use in adult conversations, like " I brush my teeth in the bathroom". Who'd say something like that in a dinner conversation?. Hence people can only expect to start making meaningful conversations around advanced level course, which is really too slow & boring.

The way I use this book is by memorising words as many as I can (periodically) & going back over it again and again. I also frequently watch French movies, listens to French radio podcast, and read French articles on the internet.

I am pleased to say that my French has improved quite fast considering that I am studying on my own.

This book is very useful!!!
