“…Although both cities pay lip service to citizen involvement (Gemeente Eindhoven, 2006a and2006b;Gemeente Groningen, 2008), the findings in this study on two Dutch cases show that citizen participation in policy making did not lead to a new division of roles between government and citizens in either city. The role of citizens is mainly to provide information on the basis of which government, sometimes in cooperation with other actors, can make decisions.…”

“…Citizens, often organised in residents' associations, were involved, as were various professional organisations, such as housing associations and welfare services, and (organisations of) entrepreneurs and civil servants. A major aim of the various projects was not only to solve particular problems in a specific neighbourhood, but also to boost participation to a higher level (Gemeente Eindhoven, 2006b). …”

Citizen participation is usually seen as a vital aspect of democracy. Many theorists claim that citizen participation has positive effects on the quality of democracy. This article examines the probability of these claims for local participatory policymaking projects in two municipalities in the Netherlands. The article focuses on the relations between citizens and government from a citizens' perspective. The findings show that the role of citizens in these projects is limited, serving mainly to provide information on the basis of which the government then makes decisions. Nevertheless, the article argues that citizen involvement has a number of positive effects on democracy: not only do people consequently feel more responsibility for public matters, it increases public engagement, encourages people to listen to a diversity of opinions, and contributes to a higher degree of legitimacy of decisions. One negative effect is that not all relevant groups and interests are represented. The article concludes that for a healthy democracy at the local level, aspects of democratic citizenship are more important than having a direct say in decision-making.

“…This yield can be higher if the material contains stains or defects, or when it is negatively charged [10,48]. The measurement of γ pe of dielectrics in air is often quite challenging [53]. We here use several values for γ pe to demonstrate how photoemission affects positive streamers.…”

We use numerical simulations to study the dynamics of surface discharges, which are common in high-voltage engineering. We simulate positive streamer discharges that propagate towards a dielectric surface, attach to it, and then propagate over the surface. The simulations are performed in air with a two-dimensional plasma uid model, in which a at dielectric is placed between two plate electrodes. Electrostatic attraction is the main mechanism that causes streamers to grow towards the dielectric. Due to the net charge in the streamer head, the dielectric gets polarized, and the electric eld between the streamer and the dielectric is increased. Compared to streamers in bulk gas, surface streamers have a smaller radius, a higher electric eld, a higher electron density, and higher propagation velocity. A higher applied voltage leads to faster inception and faster propagation of the surface discharge. A higher dielectric permittivity leads to more rapid attachment of the streamer to the surface and a thinner surface streamer. Secondary emission coef cients are shown to play a modest role, which is due to relatively strong photoionization in air. In the simulations, a high electric eld is present between the positive streamers and the dielectric surface. We show that the magnitude and decay of this eld are affected by the positive ion mobility.
