Conversations in Conflict Studies presents Tina Nabatchi

"Building a Participation Infrastructure for 21st Century Democracy" - Tina Nabatchi, Associate Professor of Public Administration and International Affairs at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University. Most would agree that public participation is foundational for democracy; however, the kinds of participation processes we see today are largely unable to meet the needs (and wants) of citizens and public officials. In large part this is doing to an inefficient, ineffective, and outdated participation infrastructure. This talk will focus on how to build a participation infrastructure for 21st century democracy – a task that is neither as abstract nor as difficult as it sounds.
