Contemporary dynamics in public governance reflect a major shift toward more participatory, transparent, and sustainable development-oriented models. A literature review reveals that traditional governance principles, which focus on administrative efficiency and hierarchy, are gradually evolving toward an approach that includes citizens, private actors, and civil society in decision-making processes. Tools such as participatory budgeting, territorial governance, and open administration exemplify efforts toward more inclusive and sustainable management. Researchers emphasize the need for strong commitment to the cultural transformation of institutions, enhanced transparency, and the development of skills suited to modern public management. In summary, while significant progress has been made, the effective implementation of sustainable and inclusive governance remains a challenge that requires a systemic and contextualized approach, backed by clear political will.
