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.
