Foregrounding Marginalized Voices: Evaluating Deliberative Capacities in the Policy Process of the Agricultural Sector in Siquijor, Philippines
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
บทคัดย่อ
This paper critically evaluates how agricultural sectors in Siquijor, Philippines, navigate around deliberative policy analysis and deliberative capacities to correspond to participatory policy processes. In a case study through informant interviews and secondary data, we identified sectoral involvement in the policy process (agricultural agenda, involvement in policy-making, and implementation), which is linked to how the sector and society advance deliberative capacities. Mindful of the deliberative approach principles, the work contends that deliberative capacities of the marginalized are critical in genuinely addressing sectoral problems and public concern - that is, fundamental to strengthening within the sector-civil society-government dynamics of doing policy analysis.
