The article I coauthored with Andrea Lippi on the NRRP's socio-technical governance and legitimation dynamics in Italy has just been assigned to an issue of @itapublicpolicy.bsky.social! #AcademicSky #PASky #PolicySky

www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.1483/...

🚨Our latest issue is out!🚨 It explores socio-technical governance and legitimation dynamics, interest groups and regulatory processes, participatory budgeting, collaborative governance and public value creation, and digitalization in local government #AcademicSky #PASky #PolicySky shorturl.at/la2wz

In this @italpubpolicy.bsky.social article, Lippi and I examine the Italian NRRP as a policy tool that blends social and technical elements to legitimize political authority and revitalize policy agendas, without necessarily incentivizing innovation processes.
