Government / Politics
French term or phrase: la decision publique
'Je veux aussi doter l'Etat d'outils modernes pour eclairer la decision publique.'

Does 'la decision publique' mean 'public participation in decision-making'? Could someone help me with the sense of this in this sentence? Thanks very much.

English translation:public/governmental decision-making
Explanation:
This is what I interpret it as and I am pretty sure it is really the only interpretation. Only medium confidence though since only you can tell, from the context of your document, if it means this or decision-making by the public at large.
