Local politicians' attitudes towards participatory initiatives: a Bulpittian perspective

Dave Mckenna

Public Money & Management, 2012, vol. 32, issue 2, 103-110

Abstract: The mixed attitudes that councillors have towards participatory initiatives present a challenge for policy-makers and for the designers of these initiatives. Using a framework adapted from the ideas of Jim Bulpitt, this article provides an original analysis of existing research and concludes that only consultation and cogovernance initiatives are likely to find favour with local politicians. While concerned primarily with the UK, the analysis may be applicable to representative local governments in other countries.
