Can participatory budgeting help make public services really work for the public? Incorporating a range of experiments in ten different countries, this book provides the first comprehensive analysis of participatory budgeting in Europe and the effect it has had on democracy, the modernization of local government, social justice, gender mainstreaming and sustainable development. By focussing on the first decade of European participatory budgeting and analysing the results and the challenges affecting the agenda today it provides a critical appraisal of the participatory model. Detailed comparisons of European cases expose similarities and differences between political cultures and offer a strong empirical basis to discuss the theories of deliberative and participatory democracy and reveal contradictory tendencies between political systems, public administrations and democratic practices.

This book brings together scholarship and debates on citizenship and democratic innovation, and examines how democratic innovations might change, or even consolidate, the existing contours of citizenship.Arguing that the nexus between research on citizenship and democratic innovations can be found in the praxis approach to citizenship, where citizenship can be framed as a realm of actions and practices, the book shifts the discussion from the institutional level into a more conceptual realm of analysis. Taking stock of the democratic innovations at the local level, the national level, and the EU-level, such as citizen assemblies, referendums, and participatory budgeting, the book further surveys and maps their contribution to the democratic quality of citizenship across various European countries.This book is of key interest to scholars and students of democratic innovations, citizenship studies, democratization, governance, and more generally public policy, and European Politics and Studies.The Introduction, Chapter 1 and Chapter 5 of this book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 International license.

Es gibt eine Wahlverwandtschaft von Partizipation und Verwaltungsmodernisierung – dies ist die zentrale These des Buches, die anhand einer systematisch-vergleichenden Studie zum Bürgerhaushalt in Europa vorgestellt wird. Bürgerhaushalte gehören zu den innovativsten Verfahren der Bürgerpartizipation heute und haben sich während der letzten Jahre in mehreren europäischen Ländern entwickelt. In diesem Buch werden die Verfahrensweise und Ergebnisse der Bürgerhaushalte in Europa vorgestellt sowie eine Typologie der partizipativen Demokratie allgemein. Darüber hinaus gibt das Buch Einblick in die Parallelen und Differenzen lokalpolitischer Systeme und der (lokalen) Demokratie in Europa heute.
