Key actors in public policy making for quality of life

Graciela Tonon, Universidad de Palermo

Abstract: Based on the recently published book of the same title, this webinar presents how quality of life research results can be transferred to policy making, and considers the role of actors in this process---researchers, policy makers, citizens---as well as their interrelationships. It proposes to include actors other than the state in public policy-making related to quality of life and well-being issues, in defining problems and formulating alternatives. It identifies obstacles and facilitators in the process and offers possible pathways for various stakeholders in policy-making to interact with one another in the building of good societies.
