Can participatory governance really improve the quality of
democracy? Concentrating on democracy beyond governmental
structures, this Handbook argues that it is a political task to
engage individuals at all levels of governance. The Handbook on
Participatory Governance reveals that transforming governance
arrangements does in fact enhance democracy and that the democratic
quality of participatory governance is crucial. The contributors
reflect on the notion of democracy and participatory governance and
how they relate to each other. Case studies are presented from
regional, national and international levels, to identify how
governance can be turned into a participatory form. With chapters
reviewing participatory governance?s role alongside power, science
and employment relations, innovative ideas for future progress in
participatory governance are presented. Academics and postgraduate
students with an interest in governance and public policy will find
this Handbook a useful guide for further and future research.
Practitioners interested in improving citizen participation will
also benefit from the insight into increasing participation at
every level of governance. Contributors include: R. Atkinson, B.
