Deliberative democracy derives its moral urgency from universal ideals, but relies on tools that pose practical tradeoffs stemming from the particularities of place and time. I argue for transcending a technique-oriented mindset focused on single methods, using examples from a foundation project to engage lesser heard voices into policies for young children and their families. Case study data from eight California counties are analyzed to identify frequently used civic engagement tools and their strengths and limitations. Drawing on this evidence, and on democratic and administrative theory that envisions citizens and experts as co-creators of public work, I develop strategic understandings for improving deliberative practices. The managerial wisdom needed has less to do with being au c...

This paper describes how Ireland drastically improved its economic position through its adoption of what came to be referred to as the Celtic Tiger strategy. Because of the surprisingly striking similarities between Ireland and Guam and the finding that the Celtic Tiger strategy represents nothing but "sensible policies "for enhancing economic growth, we believe that Guam can employ those elements of the Celtic Tiger strategy that worked, and modify those elements that did not. By doing so, Guam can transform itself into the Pacific Tiger.

This monograph is a case study of newspaper competition in New Hampshire between the province's official newspaper and an upstart Whig challenger in the period marked by contention over the Stamp Act (1765-1766) and over the tight oligarchical reign of the Wentworth family. The case study is grounded in the civic republican tradition articulated by Bernard Bailyn and Gordon Wood as well as the revisionist scholarship since the 1960s that takes the role of the "little people" seriously. It maintains that the competition between the two newspapers contributed to, and opened up, the public spaces in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to a wider compass than might have been predicted if one follows the standard Habermasian argument for the develop of a bourgeois public sphere. In part, these more d...
