“…To Lisa, the advancements in ADR, collaborative public management, and public participation represented “part of a single phenomenon, namely the changing nature of citizen and stakeholder voice in governance,” and demanded that scholars address “questions of transparency, accountability, and the extent to which delegation adequately constrains administrative action within the rule of law” (Bingham, , p. 273). Thus, Lisa set off to explore, explain, and enhance the legal infrastructure for the new governance (e.g., Amsler, ; Amsler & Nabatchi, ; Bingham, , 2010b, ). She mapped the federal, state, and local laws pertaining to the new governance (e.g., Bingham, ), and generated ideas about how to integrate those laws and “broaden agency authority to innovate through a Collaborative Governance Act (CGA) that defines public participation to include an increasingly rich variety of deliberative and participatory democratic practices” (Bingham, 2010b, p. 297).…”
