How to Solve Problems in Governance

How can everyday political barriers, blockades, and gridlocks be addressed? Drawing on thirty-five years of experience, this book introduces the Governmental Learning Spiral - a structured, interdisciplinary method for innovation and learning in governance. Developed through real-world application and grounded in numerous theoretical concepts spanning the social and natural sciences, the method has proven effective in diverse contexts, from constitutional reform and environmental issues to minority rights and public health. This volume updates the method's theoretical foundations and offers a practical guide for organizing roundtables, workshops, conferences, and online events. Aimed at both practitioners and scholars, it invites readers to become qualified users of this collaborative and transformative tool. Applied by international institutions like the World Bank Group and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, national and subnational governments, and non-governmental organizations such as the Convivenza Foundation, the Governmental Learning Spiral continues to empower those committed to solving problems in governance.
