Scheming Virtuously: The Road to Collaborative Governance

Par Gilles Paquet

Scheming Virtuously: The Road to Collaborative Governance is an invitation to subversion, but also a somewhat personal account of the displacement of the dominant governing regime (Big-G centralized government) by small-g collaborative governance, in a world where power, resources, and information are widely distributed. In this new world, the citizen’s burden of office is clear: to be a producer of governance. Scheming virtuously is the order of the day—active engagement, imaginative problem-reframing, astute organizational design, and effective action within the bounds of the appreciative systems in good currency and beyond.
