Crafting Spaces: Strategies for Managing Public Needs Agendas

Kim H. J. van Eijck and Berit Lindemann

International Journal of Public Administration, 2016, vol. 39, issue 1, 49-62

Abstract: This article is concerned with the spaces in which public needs are identified, prioritized, and captured in agendas. These spaces must be crafted as “the public” is not an actor, and is therefore unable to coherently express its needs. These agendas form the basis of the co-creation of public value. We introduce a framework, which is used to analyze the strategic practice of crafting spaces for PNAs. Furthermore, it introduces two cases that describe the strategic practices civil society managers are involved in when crafting PNA spaces and reveal how they influence or are influenced by their institutional context.
