“…However, we find that an online debate with almost 2.000 postings and 1.200 participants is a sufficiently large case. Other cases show that participation does not necessarily increase over a long-run, such as a four-week deliberation in Hamburg that ended with 538 users and 3.907 messages (Albrecht 2006), or the Frankfurt citizen forum 2013 ("Frankfurt fragt mich", Geissel, Kolleck, & Neunecker, 2013).…”

Administrations increasingly use the internet to improve citizens' participation in political processes. While research on online political communication and e-democracy is growing, we still have little empirical evidence on the quality of online participation and deliberation processes. This paper focuses on an online local deliberation process, the 2011 Zurich City Debate, and seeks to investigate the specific quality of such online public communication. By building an index of a quality of understanding (IQU), the authors analyse 1.991 postings that participants have contributed in five thematic debates on local political issues. Five indicators were defined: statement of reasons, proposals for solutions, respect, doubts, and reciprocity. The authors conclude that participants have respectfully voiced opinions, that in two fora half of the postings were reciprocal, i.e. people exchanged views and commented on each other. However, the data gives the impression of a polite and reciprocal debate, but without much argumentation, propositions or doubts.

“…Yet since referendums are allowed only at the subnational (and not national) level, 9 some respondents have never had the opportunity to participate in a referendum if referendums have not been organised in the area where they live. The same reasoning applies to consultative, dialogue-oriented tools, for example, Participatory Budgeting (Geissel et al, 2015). With the exception of referendums where the distribution is relatively balanced, the other three forms of participation do not have great variation.…”

An extensive body of literature discusses the disaffection of citizens with representative democracy and highlights increasing citizens' preferences for political decision-makers beyond elected politicians. But so far, little research has been conducted to analyse the relations between citizens' respective preferences and their political behaviour. To address this void in the literature, our article investigates the extent to which citizens' preferences for certain political decisionmakers (politicians, citizens or expert) have an impact on their retrospective and prospective political participation. Our analysis draws on data from a survey conducted in autumn of 2014 on a probability representative sample in Germany. Results indicate that respondents favouring politicians as decision-makers focus mainly on voting. Those who favour citizens as decisionmakers are more willing to get involved in participatory procedures, while those inclined towards expert decision-making show mixed participation. Keywordsdemocracy, citizens' preferences, political decision-makers, political participation, Germany Accepted: 22 July 2016 Political scientists have examined the relations between political attitudes and actions for several decades (Almond and Verba, 1965;Bolzendahl and Coffé, 2013;Kinder and Sears, 1985), arguing that the two go in hand (Quintelier and Van Deth, 2014: 153). At the same time, citizens' disaffection with institutions and actors of representative democracy (Bengtsson, 2012;Dalton and Wattenberg, 2000;Font and Alarcón, 2011;Hibbing and Theiss-Morse, 2001;Norris, 2011) is leading to an increasing endorsement of political decision-makers beyond elected representatives. Some authors expect that these 'changing norms' might reinforce certain types of political action (Dalton, 2008: 78). But despite a rich debate in these fields, the question of how preferences for various political decisionmakers (politicians, citizens and experts) are linked with certain modes of political participation has just recently emerged. 25Social sciences have studied factors influencing citizens' political participation intensively. However, little is known whether and how their preferences, considering political decision-makers, are linked to their political involvement. Recently, more and more scholars are examining citizens' concepts of democracy as well as their preferences for certain political decision-making procedures or decision-makers. Yet these scholars were less interested in the effects of these preferences on citizens participation (Bengtsson and Christensen, 2014;Hibbing and Theiss-Morse, 2001). Our article aims to shed light on this connection and investigates how citizens' notions about who should make political decisions correlate with their involvement in different forms of retrospective and prospective participation. With this approach, the article bridges current debates on citizens' conceptions of democracy (Canache, 2012;Shin, 2015) with the established body of research on political participation....

“…A részvételi költségvetés egy alig néhány évtizedes múltra visszatekintő intézmény, ezért nem csak a konkrét megvalósulási formái sokrétűek, de a szakirodalom is nagyon szerteágazó módon tesz kísérletet a tipizálásukra (Wampler, 2007;Schneider-Busse, 2019;Geißel, 2015). Az alábbiakban ezért csupán néhány, a fővárosi példák kapcsán relevanciával bíró jellegzetesség alapján mutatom be, hogy milyen főbb altípusokról beszélhetünk, főként Sintomer (2010) hat főbb típust kijelölő munkája alapján.…”

Az állampolgári részvétel új intézményeinek erőteljes fejlődése általános tendencia a világban az elmúlt évtizedekben. A demokratikus innovációk egyik legígéretesebb területe a közpénzügyeket célozza, és az önkormányzati költségvetések felett kíván több ellenőrzést és beleszólást biztosítani a választóknak. Az eleinte kísérleti projektekként induló modellek mára sok helyen bevett gyakorlattal rendelkeznek, és a jog- és a politikatudományi diskurzus is egyre erőteljesebb érdeklődést mutat irántuk. Az elmúlt néhány évben, 2010 után a közép-kelet-európai régióban, illetve a visegrádi négyek országaiban, majd pedig Magyarországon is rohamos fejlődésnek indult a terület, különösen a részvételi (közösségi) költségvetés intézménye. Az alábbi elemzésben a részvételi költségvetések budapesti megvalósítását vizsgálom a kerületekben, illetve a Főváros költségvetése tekintetében.
