Varieties of participatory institutions and interest intermediation
Policing, Democratic Participation, and the Reproduction of Asymmetric Citizenship
Can democratic participation reduce inequalities in citizenship produced by policing? We argue that citizen participation in policing produces a paradox, which we call asymmetric citizenship. For some citizens, expanding participation in policing expands citizenship by enhancing state responsiveness to demands. Yet citizen participation in policing often produces demands to repress marginalized groups, thereby contracting their citizenship rights…
The Power of Human Rights Frames in Urban Security: Lessons from Bogotá
Governments throughout the world invoke human rights ideas to motivate policy reforms. What impact do rights-based frames have on the policy process? I argue that rights-based frames can generate new resources and institutional opportunities that restructure battles over public policy. These resources and opportunities can both initially legitimate state interventions that violate rights, while also creating openings to hold governments accountab…

First, the courts can help those affected by policy failures to overcome the collective…

Society-driven Participatory Institutions: Lessons from Colombia's Planning Councils
This article challenges the conventional wisdom that enthusiastic state support is a prerequisite to building strong participatory institutions. Through an analysis of Colombia's planning councils, this study develops the concept of the societydriven participatory institution, in which civil society actors, rather than the state, undertake the core tasks involved in implementing participatory institutions. The article argues that while state negl…

Colombia’s Surprising Resilience
Facing a devastating security crisis, Colombian president Alvaro Uribe (2002–10) concentrated power into the executive branch and moved the country toward delegative democracy. While history shows that delegative democracy produces a cycle of institutional weakening that is difficult to break, this trend reversed course under Uribe's successor, Juan Manuel Santos. This essay argues that in delegative democracies with origins in security crises, s…
