Traditional approaches do not provide solutions to wicked problems. These challenges are stimulating alternative theory and practices around the world. Integrating existing theories and research from case studies, the authors argue that collaborative decision-making is a powerful method for getting beyond division and conflict to craft policy solutions and generate capacity for long term sustainability. They outline a new theory of collaborative rationality to help make sense of the new practices. They inquire in detail how collaborative rationality works, the theories that inform it, and the potential and pitfalls of democracy in the twenty-first century."--Provided by publisher 0aCommunity development, Urban. 0aPolitical planning. 0aSocial participation.1 aBooher, David E.
