Citizen participation in policy making – Bristol, 14-15 February 2007
14-02-2007

Introduction
With an increasing emphasis in Europe and beyond on citizen participation, democratic renewal and partnership working, opportunities for citizens as individuals and for citizen organisations to participate in the formulation and implementation of policy have mushroomed. But how far is power being shared or reconfigured? And who benefits from participation? ‘Citizen participation in policy making’ tries to find an answer to all these questions.
Description
Research to date suggests that the rhetoric does not always match up to reality while, even where there is a commitment to participation, new forms of governance pose new challenges for government bodies, for civil society, and for citizens. These include
  • tensions between representative and participatory democracy
  • how to handle conflict and diversity
  • engaging marginalised groups
  • leadership, representation and accountability
  • how to avoid co-option
