“…There is a common commitment to a logical manner of public policy. The concept of discourse openly supported the affected people through the element of decisions (Dryzek, 1990(Dryzek, , 2000Elster, 1998;Habermas, 1996;House & Howe, 1999). Democratisation is creating a meeting place among the people where the communication gap does end and dominance extends forward from this point of analysis.…”

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The objective of the article is to define the conceptual framework of the contemporary governmental system and its style of functionality to strengthen democratic values, norms, and the rule of law. The purpose of the article is to elaborate governance that shares state power to facilitate the democratic rights of the people in the contemporary world. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: This article aims to analyse the power and governance in the current structure of democracy. The article evaluates the dynamics of contemporary democracy and how the government shapes the power for better governance. Future research highlights the conceptual framework of the qualitative approach and relies on discourse analysis to find out the outcomes of this study. The study uses a theoretical approach to examine contemporary governance, different approaches and how to build socio-political cooperation. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: It discusses various aspects of modern democracy in the context of the governability of those who hold power. Furthermore, the article argues how the states are shaping modern democracy. How a new political order pioneers the norms of the state through its governance. What is the legitimate principle of the work for the new political order? RESEARCH RESULTS: As a result, the article tries to find out that modern democracy is running under a populist government in various countries in the world. The emergence of ultra-right-wing power groups diminished the norms of liberal democracy. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The article highlights the points as a conclusion of democracy facing many challenges in the new populist governance worldwide. The contemporary global communities are trying to make governance for peace, prosperity, and respect for the humanities but and on the other hand, international communities are failed in some places i. e. Afghanistan.

“…We considered deliberative democratic evaluation a particularly interesting avenue in this regard. This collaborative method aims for the inclusion of all the people concerned by an issue and for a consensus when different perspectives are presented (Duplin, 2007;House & Howe, 1999, 2002. Nonetheless, it is still little used despite the growing popularity of participative methods in qualitative research, and few papers propose concrete ways to apply it (House & Howe, 1999;Hreinsdottir & Davidsdottir, 2012;Ryan, 2004;Ryan & Johnson, 2000).…”

The current emergency response for substance users experiencing homelessness is not adapted to their needs. This has led to the revolving door phenomenon and to issues of collaboration between involved organizations. This study aims to demonstrate the relevance from the participants’ perspective of: 1) the World Café; 2) the deliberative democratic evaluation; and 3) combining these two methods as part of a qualitative study aimed at improving emergency response to substance users experiencing homelessness in Montreal. Thirty-four people participated in an intersectoral World Café guided by the principles of deliberative democratic evaluation. Twenty-three participants responded to a questionnaire regarding their satisfaction, effects of their participation, and adherence to the principles of deliberative democratic evaluation (inclusion, dialogue, and deliberation). We performed descriptive statistics and a thematic content analysis. Ultimately, the respondents were satisfied with the activity and several said they gained new knowledge and improved their network. Roughly half of the participants shared that their participation influenced their representations and their future practices. Our findings suggest that combining deliberative democratic evaluation and World Café is relevant to providing rich qualitative data, gaining systemic insight, and having an impact on our communities (e.g., improving intersectoral collaboration, professional’ attitudes and practices).

“…Given that programs naturally evolve as learning occurs and environments change, a highly systematic yet responsive and adaptive approach to evaluation over the 10‐year study is employed. In designing, conducting, and describing our work, we pull from context‐sensitive, theory‐driven, utilization‐focused, participatory, and equity evaluation frameworks (Alkin & Vo, 2017; Carden, 2017; Chen, 1990; Cousins & Earl, 1992; Hood et al., 2015; House & Howe, 1999; Marra & Forss, 2017; Mathison, 1994, Mertens, 2009; Patton, 1986). While the CEC is part of the DPC, it is external to BUILD program implementation and approaches the role of evaluator as a partnership (Mathison, 1994).…”

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) made a sizeable investment in developing a scientific approach to understanding how to best increase diversity in the NIH-funded workforce by fostering inclusive excellence at a national scale through the Diversity Program Consortium (DPC). This chapter provides an overview of the context in which the consortium-wide evaluation study has taken place to provide readers with an understanding of its level of complexity. This evaluation effort is the first large-scale, national, systemic, longitudinal evaluation of harmonized interventions focused on undergraduate biomedical research training programs in the history of the NIH and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences.
