GWorks Interviews
In a government “of the people, by the people and for the people,” it is essential for the governed to have access to governance and those who govern.
GWorks Interviews give readers access to persons with experience in and views on governance, current affairs and connecting the dots. GWorks poses questions—not answers—, inviting the interviewee to explore the contours of their thinking.
Interviews are published in parts. Once each part has been published, the entire interview is re-published as “Complete.”
