In all three countries, the adoption of participatory policies by govern ments can be traced back to certain aspects of post-war capitalist de velopment - concentration, structural change and, concomitantly, an extensive increase in state intervention. More directly, the introduction of participatory policies in the U.S. during the 1960's is interpreted as a partisan strategy in response to social stress, and is linked to the particular forms of local politics. In Britain, planning participation was perhaps more a result of development bottlenecks and informational needs of govern ment. The comparatively weak impact of citizen participation concepts on governmental policies in Sweden is explained by differences in the forms of local politics and by the relatively less severe nature of social stress and conflicts in urban development
