Compared to the rest of the world, it seems that the Netherlands has been successfully putting pieces of the e-participation puzzle together. The main reason behind the Netherlands’ success in e-participation could be the country’s long-standing history of participatory democracy. The government has been consulting external stakeholders while developing policies and laws for quite some time. Now with e-participation, apart from improving citizen access to information and public services, the Dutch are promoting citizen participation in the decision-making process.The Netherlands first rank in the 2014 United Nations E-government Survey‘s ‘E-Participation Index’ is further proof that the Dutch are redefining democracy in the digital age.

Participatory Democracy in Southern Europe » Rowman & Littlefield International

Participatory Democracy in Southern Europe » Rowman & Littlefield International | real utopias | Scoop.it

Citizen participation is a central component of democratic governance. As participatory schemes have grown in number and gained in social legitimacy over recent years, the research community has analyzed the virtues of participatory policies from several points of view, but usually giving focus to the most successful and well-known grass-roots cases. This book examines a wider range of participatory interventions that have been created or legitimized by central governments, providing original exploration of institutional democratic participatory mechanisms. Looking at a huge variety of subnational examples across Italy, Spain and France, the book interrogates the rich findings of a substantial research project. The authors use quantitative and qualitative methods to compare why these cases of participatory mechanisms have emerged, how they function, and what cultural impact they’ve achieved. This allows highly original insights into why participatory mechanisms work in some places, but not others, and the sorts of choices that organizers of participatory processes have to consider when creating such policies.
