The field of public participation is developing fast, with
phenomena such as citizen science and crowdsourcing extending the
resource base of research, stimulating innovation and making
science more accessible to the general population. Promoting public
participation means giving more weight to citizens and civil
society actors in the definition of research needs and in the
implementation of research and innovation. As yet, there is limited
understanding of the implications of widespread use of public
participation and as a result, there is a risk that it will become
a burden for research and an obstacle to bridging the gap between
research and society. This volume presents the findings of a
three-year international study on innovative public participation.
The resulting work studies the characteristics and trends of
innovative public participation through a global sample of 38 case
studies. It provides theoretical generalisations on the dynamics of
public participation, suggestions for an evaluation framework and
clear empirical examples of how public participation works in
practice. Illustrated by best practice cases, the authors identify
characteristics which contribute to successful public
participation. The book is aimed primarily at scholars and
practitioners of public participation, as well as research
managers, policy makers and business actors interested in related
issues. There is also a secondary market for students and scholars
of European governance studies, sociology and political sciences.
