CARRILLO-RODRIGUEZ, Jesús  and  TOCA-TORRES, Claudia. New Relationships in Public : Emerging Roles in Decision Making Processes. Pap.polit. [online]. 2008, vol.13, n.1, pp.95-122. ISSN 0122-4409.

This article offers a reflection on observed changes in policy making models and highlights the new attitudes by citizens and social groups toward governmental structures. It posits the notorious erosion of legal-bureaucratic rationality and identifies new roles adopted by citizens on the basis of these changes. It also recognizes substantial changes derived from citizen involvement in public action, and anticipates new possibilities for deliberative democracies in developing countries.

Keywords : Public policy analysis; citizens’; roles; Public policy; Developing countries; Citizen participation; Developing countries; Political planning; Developing countries.
