The effect of ruling party change and party ideology on participatory budgeting stability: Survivors and victims of local elections
Participatory Budgeting (PB) has demonstrated a remarkable capacity for global diffusion. However, its ability to endure over time and become fully institutionalized remains more limited. This study addresses one of the most frequently cited explanations for PB’s instability: changes in the ruling party. Contrary to prevailing assumptions, we argue that it is not party turnover per se that leads to the discontinuation of PB, but rather the ideolo…
Assessing the New Municipalism Reform of Advisory Councils: The Cases of Madrid and Barcelona (2015–2019)
New Municipalism governments in Madrid and Barcelona (2015 − 2019) promoted a new agenda which included participatory budgeting, e-initiatives, and randomly selected forums. Both cities implemented deep modifications in their Advisory Councils’ (AC) systems while the ‘New Municipalism movement’ (radical-left candidacies) was in government for first time. In this article we reflect on how these municipal administrations faced the different strateg…
What drives process preferences? The role of perceived qualities of policymakers and party preferences
Participatory Motivations in Advisory Councils: Exploring Different Reasons to Participate
The most common participatory institution has been insufficiently analysed: associationally based institutions often exist at any government level (from the neighbourhood to the state), but have received only scant academic attention. This paper analyses these advisory councils (ACs) in Spain, in order to understand why their participants continue to attend the meetings, given the apparently limited attractiveness these institutions have. The ana…
Testing the input‐process‐output model of public participation
The characteristics of participatory institutions can be articulated in three main dimensions: input, process and output. The common assumption is that a dependency relationship exists, with process serving as a mediator between input and output. This paper puts the model to a rare empirical test drawing on a unique dataset of 70 Spanish advisory councils. Through a combination of exploratory factor and path analyses, we analyse the dimensionalit…
Participatory Frustration: The Unintended Cultural Effect of Local Democratic Innovations
Most research on participatory processes has stressed the positive effects that these institutions have in the relationships between public authorities and civil society. This article analyzes a more negative product that has received scant attention: participatory frustration. Departing from Hirschman’s cycles of involvement and detachment, the article shows four paths toward frustration after engaging in institutional participatory processes: (…
The devil is in the detail: What do citizens mean when they support stealth or participatory democracy
Recent research on citizen process preferences has highlighted three different models of decision making: representation, participation and stealth democracy. However, the meanings of the two alternatives to the prevailing representative model have not been fully explored. What do citizens have in mind when distinguishing between participatory and stealth models of democracy? Using survey data from several Western European countries, the article …
The promise for democratic deepening: The effects of participatory processes in the interaction between civil society and local governments
Participatory processes (PPs) implemented around the world in the last 20 years have not led to critical social transformations, as was expected when participatory democracy was first projected. However, this kind of democratic innovation has continued to proliferate. In this context, the political effects of PPs must be examined more closely to understand their influence in deepening, or not, democracy. Based on six Spanish cases, the study focu…
