“…[60] DD practices often appear as micro-level practices and come across as being prone to be subsumed by and acceptance of representative systems. Local deliberative processes are usually generated and framed by governmental authorities and affected by the electoral cycle [61][62][63]. While remaining non-institutionalised in various -and especially strategic -levels of governance, the instrumental contributions of deliberative practices can be itemised: instead of competing for influence with decision-making apparatus, deliberative systems can add value to governance by contributing to communication between the administrative layers.…”

Broadly defined, deliberative democracy aspires the decision-making legitimacy by deliberation of equal citizens. As a response to the growing discontent with the representational governance, the normative and empirical development of the deliberative democracy theory addresses the increasing desiderata of public engagement beyond party politics and constituencies. Generating knowledge for the use of policy-making, foresight shares a common ground of participative and policy-impacting challenges with the deliberative democracy theory. In this article the prospects and mutual advantages of deliberative democracy (DD) alliance with the field of futures studies are discussed. The exploration strives to accentuate the societal policy-making advantages of the cross-disciplinary development. The article begins with introducing the deliberative democracy theory and the theoretical development, following with an account of some encouraging deliberative practices. A brief sketch of two recent projects enhancing participation detail the discrepancies in defining the concept. After examining the common epistemic ground of futures studies and social studies, the cross-disciplinary interface and shared key elements in policy-making impact are described. The article proposes a multi-voiced and future-oriented dialogue as a prerequisite for ameliorating societal preparedness and resilience in a world marked by proliferating uncertainty.

“…Katılımcı bütçeleme anlayışının temelinde bireylerin ya da sivil toplum kuruluşlarının özgür iradeleri doğrultusunda gönüllü ya da düzenli olarak belirlenmiş bir takvim süreci içerisinde belediye bütçesinin hazırlanması kısmının tamamında olmasa da en azından harcamaların bir kısmı için karar verme sürecine katılmasını esas almaktadır (Goldfrank, 2006). Katılım süreçlerinde vatandaşların bütçeleme sürecine katılımını artırmak için bazı temel unsurların belirlenmesi, sürecin daha başarılı olmasında oldukça önemlidir.…”

Participatory budgeting, which was emerged at the end of 1980's and enables citizens to participate in a system that is in accordance with the free will to decide directly related to budget spending and priorities. This budgeting system showed a great development in recent years, particularly to ensure the direct participation of the public in local government budgeting process. Central and local governments will have a more democratic society by ensuring the participation of citizens in the budgeting process. In addition, participatory democracy and budgeting development is a need to provide national and regional development. In this study, participatory democracy concept has discussed in order to describe it comprehensively. Keywords: Participatory Democracy, Participatory Budgeting, Governance. JEL Classification Codes : H61, H72, H77.Öz 1980'li yılların sonu itibariyle ortaya çıkan katılımcı bütçeleme anlayışı, vatandaşların, doğrudan bütçe harcamaları ve öncelikleri ile ilgili kararlara özgür iradesi doğrultusunda katılmasını sağlayan bir sistemdir. Bu bütçeleme sistemi son yıllarda büyük gelişme kaydederek özellikle yerel yönetimlerde halkın bütçeleme sürecine doğrudan katılımını sağlamaktadır. Merkezi ve yerel yönetimler bütçeleme sürecine vatandaşların katılımını sağlayarak daha demokratik bir yapıya sahip olabileceklerdir. Ayrıca ulusal ve bölgesel kalkınmayı sağlamak için katılımcı demokrasi ve bütçelemenin gelişmesine ihtiyaç vardır. Çalışmada öncelikle, katılımcı bütçelemenin daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için bu uygulamanın temelini oluşturan katılımcı demokrasi kavramı ele alınacaktır.

“…Starting from the experience of Porto Alegre, Brazil in 1989, participatory experiences have expanded throughout Latin America (Goldfrank and Schneider 2006b). A recent balance of these experiences suggests that despite significant accomplishments in places as diverse as small rural villages or large cities, PB has not had widespread local success in encouraging citizen participation, fiscal transparency, and effective municipal government (Goldfrank 2006a Participation has indeed been enhanced and the process is socially quite legitimated, though certain groups remain under represented because of insufficient incentives.…”

We analyze the link from PB to coverage and water service quality indicators. We find no statistically significant relationship between PB and our measures of coverage and service continuity, regardless of whether the outcome variables are measured in levels or in changes. Qualitative evidence collected in a sample of municipalities is consistent with this result. Further, PB in the water sector may also lead to inequitable outcomes as the poor may confront greater costs of participation. At the root of this lack of connection we find weaknesses both in the PB process itself as well as among the different actors in the process: citizens, municipalities and water service providers.JEL codes: H42, H72, D7
