Creating a public – not just staging an argument • Public participation is not merely a matter of allowing the public to have its say. • Deliberation is not merely about persuasion of the better argument. • In fact, successful deliberation also is a performative act creating a public of its own. Groupings and communities are best seen as fluid so as to be able to see how they too can change over time in the policy process. Hajer, M. (2002). "Setting the Stage: A Dramaturgy of PolicyDeliberation." Administrationand Society36 (6): 624-647

The promise of mediatednegotiation "mediated negotiation is attractive because it […] • allows for more direct involvement of those most affected by decisions than do most administrative and legislative processes; • produces results more rapidly and at lower cost than do courts; and • is flexible and therefore more adaptable to the specific needs of the parties in a given situation.” Susskind, Lawrence & Ozawa, Connie (1983). Mediated Negotiation in the Public Sector: Mediator Accountability and the Public Interest Problem. American Behavioral Scientist 27: 2, 255-279.
