Directions
To help Jared, you have decided to analyze the (CASE BELOW) project with which he is already familiar. You have chosen this case because it is particularly instructive in terms of the role of the public in policy development, and you believe that it contains important lessons that can be applied to the revitalization project. You plan to focus on the following stakeholder groups discussed in the case:
The Sanitary District
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (ECBI)
Jackson County residents
Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority (TWSA)
In this way, you hope to illustrate for your colleague the key aspects of shaping public engagement to positive effect. In your case report, be sure to address the following:
Case summary: Remind Jared of the context of your chosen case. What did the policy entail? What was the public problem addressed by the policy? Which segments of the public were affected by the underlying problem? In other words, why is the policy needed?
Analysis: Identify the key takeaways from the case, including each of the following:
Examine the methods the public can use to influence policy development and impact government functions. How was the policy formed and shaped? What does this case show about the ability of the public to affect government? Be sure to address each of the stakeholder groups listed above and cite specific evidence to support your positions.
Assess the need for transparency and ethics when public administrators interact with the public. What role did transparency and ethics play in this case? What is the broader significance of transparency and ethics for successfully managing public engagement in policy development and government functions? Cite specific evidence to support your positions.
Evaluate techniques for effectively managing public engagement in the policy development process. Put differently, to what extent were public administrators able to manage the influence of the public in the case? What worked and what did not? Be sure to address each of the stakeholder groups listed above and cite specific evidence to support your positions.
Recommendations: Based on your analysis of the case, apply those takeaways to the new revitalization project. Recommend specific ways to engage the public and galvanize their participation that Jared can apply in his role as public engagement liaison.
