Decision-Making in the Political Environment

Tom Christensen

Chapter 7 in Project Governance, 2012, pp 256-276 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The focus of this chapter is on the political and administrative decision-making processes that are connected to deciding on major public projects. Large projects are, on the one hand, about systematic planning and technical processes, but on the other hand, they are also about how political and administrative actors decide on the projects, which makes the wider political-administrative context highly relevant. Processes related to major public projects may have features that are similar to many other types of public decision-making processes, but also reflect that large public investments mobilise particular political and administrative actors/stake-holders, problems and solutions. One can also expect variety in the way different decisions on large projects unfold in a democracy.
