Evaluating stakeholder participation in the transition to sustainable development: methodology, case studies, policy implications
Based on a PhD thesis submitted to the University of East Anglia in 2000, this book addresses issues relating to stakeholder participation. It asks and attempts to answer critical questions such as does stakeholder participation live up to the high expectations raised about it in the literature? How can success be measured, and what are suitable criteria and indicators? Other key issues include the roles played by the primary stakeholders themselves and the structural factors that can support or impede stakeholder participation.
