ABSTRACT
This chapter builds on some of the examples discussed in Chapter 3, the emergence of stakeholder democracy. The chapter explores part of the theory of change that engaging stakeholders helps governments make better informed policy decisions. It explores in more depth the impact that stakeholder engagement has had on sustainable development policy-making and focuses on an example from each of the global, national, sub-national and local levels. It offers suggestions on how to improve policy development between levels of government and between governments and other stakeholders.
