From Digital Participation to Shared Governance: What Crowdsourcing Can Really Change in the Public Sector

Public institutions are being asked to do more than ever before.

From Obedience to Accountability: Why Democratic Governments Need Bureaucrats Who Can Say ‘No’

What should a public servant do when loyalty to a political leader conflicts with loyalty to the constitution? Most of the time, the question never arises. Democratic governments depend on public servants who faithfully implement the decisions of elected officials. But during periods of constitutional crisis, the answer becomes far less straightforward.
