So admittedly, this isn't specifically a project management question. But, I'm working on my doctoral degree, and I have written probably 9 or 10 papers in the last 8 weeks on different collaborative projects involving the government and public policy/administration. My ideas are spent.
I can't think of any meaningful collaborative projects to write about which include the US Government and community stakeholders in a truly collaborative effort.
I'm supposed to choose a current collaborative effort and analyze it based on how it is effectively and legitimately meeting public goals and identify any missed opportunities. I'm also supposed to choose something that focuses on civic responsibility.
Are any of you working on anything interesting in this space that you can share where there might be enough literature out there to write about it?
Does it have to be U.S.-based as I'm pretty sure you'd find some good examples in other countries?
On a micro-scale, most municipal governments will do this leveraging committees comprised of city staff and concerned residents. For example, in my city we've got a variety of such committees which will come up with recommendations on a variety of focus areas including transit, protecting our green space and diversity & inclusion.
