Cherry‐picking participation: Explaining the fate of proposals from participatory processes

摘要: What happens to the proposals generated by participatory processes? One of key aspects research on public participation that has been subject rare systematic analysis and comparison is fate output from processes: their proposals. Which specific factors explain whether are accepted, rejected or transformed authorities? This paper contributes this gap in our understanding two steps. First, we identify contextual, process proposal related likely affect prospect of proposals being implemented, generating a set testable hypotheses. Second, test explanatory power these hypotheses through multilevel diverse 571 policy Our findings offer evidence while there no effect for contextual factors, both variables have significant power. The design of processes affects degree implementation, with budgeting higher quality particularly effective. But most significant for explaining implementation level economic political factors: proposal's cost, extent which it challenges existing support has within municipality all strongly chance implementation.
