Politics of self governance
Two stepsPublic authorities approve a form of
self-governanceDeveloping a set of arrangements that will enable the devolution of the
obligations and objectives of the policy-makers to the self-governing community, and that will ensure that policy goals are safeguardedRelational contracting: shared
understandings underpin the contract, focus on preserving the relationshipLeadership from the site of the government and the collectiveSlide14
