It introduces a framework featuring three dimensions of public value - democratic accountability, procedural legitimacy, and substantive outcomes - that reflect distinct priorities and concerns for public administration. Utilizing examples from research on a multi-year cross-sector collaboration in the transportation field, we illustrate the framework's application and identify techniques and challe...
