Policymakers' Perceptions of the Use of Deliberative Mini‐Publics to Support Sustainability Policies
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Deliberative mini‐publics (DMPs) have emerged as a novel method to deepen public participation in complex and contentious policy decisions, such as those related to sustainability transformations. Despite an increasing interest in applying DMPs in environmental governance, little is known about policymakers' expectations regarding their ...
