“…We ourselves have argued elsewhere that the democratization of civil society is important 45 , but we should not assume this is automatic, as other studies have shown disappointing outcomes 46 . Recent research on the PB, for example, has analyzed its impact on civil society in Brazil 47 , China 48 , Africa 49 or Europe 50 with mixed results 51 . The democratization of civil society does have important implications in the organization of public opinion by incorporating a democratic reference in its formation.…”

ABSTRACT:Participatory Budgeting has by now been widely discussed, and often celebrated, now instituted in at least 1,500 cities worldwide. Some of its central features -its structure of open meetings, its yearly cycle, and its combination of deliberation and representation are by now well-known. In this paper, however, we critically reflect on its global travel and argue for more careful consideration of some of its less well-known features, namely, the coupling of the budgeting meetings with the exercise of power. We disaggregate PB into its communicative and empowerment dimensions and argue that its empowerment dimensions have usually not been part of its global expansion and this is cause for concern from the point of view of emancipation. In this paper we thus discuss the specific institutional reforms associated with empowerment in the original version as well as its analytic dimensions. We also address some of the specific dangers of a communication-only version of PB as well as some suggestions for reintroducing empowerment.

“…For this reason, it may be argued that, despite the considerable impact which drought has on public preferences concerning water management policies, the public's take on water management issues is highly conventional and the perception of resources is rooted in historically and geographically sensitive perspectives, in a clear example of "path dependency" [6]. These conventional perspectives stand in sharp contrast to the results obtained by other deliberative experiments [29,37], in which opinions were much more flexible and participants more open to gaining further knowledge.…”

“…One of the factors which has a direct bearing on public preferences regarding water management policies is the information that the public has concerning the volume of water consumed by different economic sectors [29]. In the period under consideration, 81.3% of water used went to agriculture, 15.1% to households, 2% to industrial uses, and 1.6% to other uses [30][31][32][33].…”

Abstract:In a context of climate change and more severe and frequent droughts, in order to achieve efficient and sustainable results, water-governance models must take into consideration different alternative management measures and the degree of social approval of each alternative. In this context, the present work analyzes public perceptions concerning water management-and climate change-related issues, especially in relation to the degree of social approval attained by six water management measures in Andalusia (southern Spain). These issues were included in the Ecobarómetro between 2004 and 2013, a period which was marked by the 2005-2008 drought. This analysis aims to increase our understanding of the state of public opinion in Andalusia on the basis that such knowledge is a necessary tool for political decision-making processes. The results and the conclusions have significant implications for water policy makers.

“…Two broad models can be distinguished. First, the bureaucratic (Ganuza & Francés, 2012a) or extensive model (Blanco & Ballester, 2011), in which the regulations are oriented towards a low intensity of citizen participation with an exclusive capacity for proposals and voting. Second, the participatory or mixed model, which, in turn, can be distinguished between those experiences that institute mechanisms for greater control by the administration and those that institute mechanisms for a greater degree of citizen control.…”

Presupuestos participativos: características y calidad participativa en los diseños institucionales

El trabajo se enmarca en la evaluación de la calidad participativa contenida en los reglamentos locales de presupuesto participativo en España. El presupuesto participativo es una herramienta de participación ciudadana innovadora que facilita espacios de toma de decisiones colectiva en la gestión presupuestaria. En el trabajo se profundiza en dos objetivos. Primero, la construcción de un esquema operativo de indicadores para medir la calidad participativa contenida en sus reglamentos (documentos vinculantes) mediante el cual comprender sus características y mecanismos institucionales. Segundo, aplicar la herramienta analítica a los procesos iniciados de 2015 a 2020 en municipios ubicados en España. El objeto de estudio es el reglamento porque institucionaliza las normas formales, las relaciones entre agentes y la concepción del modelo de participación ciudadana local. Los resultados evidencian que los indicadores permiten la comparabilidad de un amplio agregado de experiencias en dimensiones de especial interés como la inclusión social, la toma de decisiones, el compromiso institucional, el flujo de información, la deliberación y la capacidad comunitaria. El diseño de los reglamentos se caracteriza, principalmente, por configurar modelos de participación con baja intensidad, inclusividad e influencia de la ciudadanía. Por esta razón, el propósito explícito contenido en los reglamentos locales orientados a la reforma de las relaciones entre administración-gobierno y ciudadanía dispone de oportunidades para institucionalizar mecanismos con los que involucrar activamente a la ciudadanía en la toma de decisiones públicas; equilibrar el poder de la ciudadanía con mecanismos botón-up y dinamizar el entorno institucional.
