Because of this, one must search elsewhere for a solution to the problem of consent. One way is to search for specific policies that gains the approval of everyone, even though they might not have agreed initially. Second, and most efficient, is to gain their consent for a process. There are four reasons for insisting that governments ought to derive their power from the consent of the governed. Government without consent is inconsistent with self-interest, and may make for an unstable governmental environment.
Outside interests play an important part on an agency's environment.
It may confront a dominant local interest group favoring or opposing its goals, conflict over goals, or no important interest group at all. What kind of environment an agency faces determines the way operators define their tasks. There are two main processes concerned primarily with finding solution for consent. One is decision making by the sovereign majority. The second solution is pluralistic in nature.
