Democracy and Public Management: Policies from Recovering Legimity

Abstract

In recent decades, governments and public administrations have promoted multiple and diverse policies in order to innovate and introduce structural changes through their processes and those ways of performing. The purpose of that strategies have been adopted in an attempt to generate a public management in which development include citizenry by participatory processes for improve legitimacy. The analysis of democratization strategies related to public management is an issue that needs to be addressed by a confluence of visions and academic disciplines (Law, Sociology, Political Science, Administration Science, Economics, among others) in order to obtain, thus, a complete and global knowledge of this phenomenon. Taking into account this multidisciplinary perspective, the closed panel proposed aims to attract research papers that try to address two fundamental issues: 1) new conceptual frameworks and methodological models related to the theoretical interpretation and evaluation of the democratic quality by processes of public management; 2) case studies on innovative public initiatives that have distinguished themselves by promoting democratic values (participation, transparency and equality, among others) from two perspectives: “ad intra” (within public administrations and inter-administrative relations); and, “ad extra ”(in the relations of governments and public administrations with society, mainly through processes of co-creation, co-design, co-production and co-evaluation of public policies and services).
