Policy-makers are increasingly experimenting with various ways to involve citizens in policy-making. Deliberative forums composed of lay citizens (minipublics) count among the most popular of such innovations. Despite their popularity, it is often unclear in what ways such minipublics could affect policy-making. This article addresses this issue of conceptual ambiguity by drawing on an original systematic review of the literature. It shows that the literature has approached these consequences in three ways: congruence with decisions, consideration in the policy-making process, and structural change. The article discusses the implications for empirical research and points out trajectories for future research on deliberative minipublics.

“…O campo acadêmico das inovações democráticas está se organizando, e apenas mais recentemente tem se constituído como uma área distinta de estudo (ELSTUB e ESCOBAR, 2019). O campo hoje é composto principalmente por estudos de caso, ou conjuntos de casos focados em um único modelo, como o Orçamento Participativo ou a Pesquisa Deliberativa (JACQUET e VAN DER DOES, 2020). Há também um número crescente de tipologias que buscam categorizar e classificar os tipos de inovação (GASTIL, 2008;SMITH, 2009;PARTICIPEDIA, 2020;O PROJETO LATINNO, 2019;ELSTUB e ESCOBAR 2019).…”

Inovações democráticas e democracias representativas

Nossas democracias estão enfrentando desafios profundos, desde os sistemas econômicos que estão afetando muitos cidadãos, até questões globais de meio ambiente, segurança e migração que cruzam as fronteiras nacionais. As eleições estão cada vez mais falhando na promoção de governos com capacidades suficientes para enfrentar esses desafios, ampliando a insatisfação de amplos segmentos de cidadãos, o déficit de nossos sistemas de representação, e o eleitorado de populistas autoritários. Podemos complementar as democracias representativas eleitorais com inovações que respondam a esses déficits democráticos? Embora a democracia eleitoral esteja sendo crescentemente desafiada, a “democracia” não está em crise. Na maioria dos países, os valores democráticos são fortes e estão se consolidando. Precisamos pensar sobre as inovações democráticas sistematicamente, em termos dos tipos de valores que elas capturam e das deficiências de desempenho que poderão enfrentar. Ao fazermos isso, podemos refinar uma agenda para o campo das inovações democráticas focada no projeto democrático, para além das instituições legadas da democracia eleitoral.

“…Scholars have dealt with this research agenda via case studies (Alarcón et al, 2017;Barrett et al, 2012;Bua, 2017;Michels & Binnema, 2018;Smith, 2009), larger comparisons (Beierle, 2010;Font et al, 2018;Gastil et al, 2017;Pogrebinschi, 2013) or literature reviews (Abelson & Gauvin, 2006;Geißel & Heß, 2018;Jacquet & van der Does, 2020b;Jager et al, 2020;Michels, 2011;Rowe & Frewer, 2004). However, there has been surprisingly little attention devoted to the actual assessment of impact (Font & Smith, 2019;Jacquet & van der Does, 2020b;Mazeaud & Boas, 2012;Richardson et al, 2019) 1 . Most works rely on a congruency approach-i.e., a desk-based research method which assesses impact based on the textual correspondence between a citizen-created idea and public policy documents-but they tend to operationalize the impact disparately, looking at different public policy outputs and (in a limited number of cases) applying distinct triangulation strategies.…”

Measuring the impact of consultative citizen participation: reviewing the congruency approaches for assessing the uptake of citizen ideas

As academic and political interest in citizen participation and democratic innovations is growing, the question of their impact on public policy remains essential to assess their genuine contribution to the normative project of democratization. Impact assessments of consultative participatory mechanisms are commonly conducted with a congruency approach-a desk-based research method which assesses impact based on the textual correspondence between a citizen-created idea and public policy documents. This method, however, lacks reliability and uniformity, and this paper therefore seeks to standardize its application and ways to improve the accuracy of its results by proposing two methodological add-ons. First, a sequential impact matrix that considers the preferences of decisionmakers before a consultative participatory mechanism to see the extent to which decisionmakers take up citizen ideas that align with or diverge from their own agenda. Second, a mixed method that combines a congruency approach with interviews of actors involved in the follow-up of the participatory process to balance their experiences with the congruency approach's main findings. The variants of the congruency approach are then applied to a deliberative minipublic-the citizen panel 'Brussels-Make Your Mobility'. This analysis shows how these methodological strategies alter the impact assessment's results, and its findings suggest that the use of a sequential impact matrix with a mixed method not only produces an accurate and reliable measurement but also generates valuable insights into the diffuse ways in which minipublics can exert substantial influences on the institutional structures and the political decision-making.
