How citizens evaluate participatory processes: A conjoint analysis

No 5t72a, SocArXiv from Center for Open Science

Abstract: This study examines how characteristics of participatory processes affect citizens' evaluations of such processes and thereby establish what kind of participatory process citizens demand. The literature on democratic innovations has proposed different criteria for evaluating participatory innovations. What remains unclear, however, is how citizens evaluate these participatory mechanisms. This is here examined in a conjoint analysis embedded in a representative survey of the Finnish population (n=1050). The conjoint examines the impact of inclusiveness, popular control, considered judgement, transparency, efficiency, and transferability on citizens’ evaluations of participatory processes. Furthermore, it is examined whether the evaluations differ by policy issue and process preference of the respondents. The results suggest that the criteria have important effects on citizens’ evaluations of participatory mechanisms and that these effects are relatively consistent across policy issue and process preferences.
