		<description><![CDATA[
Writing as far back as 1989 (drawing on the work of C.W.Mills) Habermas described the formation of public opinion in what seems like an uncanny prediction of Web 2.0. &#8220;Virtually as many people express opinions as receive them.  Public communications are so organized that there is a chance immediately and effictively to reply to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pottedpolicy.wordpress.com&blog=4368671&post=41&subd=pottedpolicy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

In order to reach Community Safety Targets we are obliged to communicate with the public the number of Anti Social Behaviour Orders issued. This is intended to reassure the public that public agencies are doing their best to reign in bad behaviour but does it really?

		<description><![CDATA[When governments (local or central) think about communicating with people it&#8217;s usually about adopting a broadcast model. One-way systems of telling people what to do and what not to do. Don&#8217;t do this, don&#8217;t do that, eat less, exercise more, eat five fruits a day the list is endless. But people don&#8217;t always do what [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pottedpolicy.wordpress.com&blog=4368671&post=16&subd=pottedpolicy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Driving delivery, measuring performance, reward grants are all phrases that describe strategic action. But the behaviour that is required by Michael Lyons in his influential report will need a lot more communicative action.  Consider how bizarre it would be to set an obese person government targets for being less overweight and using hierarchichal methods to impose [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pottedpolicy.wordpress.com&blog=4368671&post=13&subd=pottedpolicy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jürgen Habermas, 78, is one of the most influential philosophers and social theorists of the last century and he shows no sign of letting up. Here&#8217;s is a recent article where he is theorising on why the Irish voted no for Lisbon.
Much of Habermas&#8217; writing concentrated on the nature of Germany in the 1930&#8217;s exploring [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pottedpolicy.wordpress.com&blog=4368671&post=10&subd=pottedpolicy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
