“…§. 16 Ezzel ellentétes gyakorlatot találhatunk akár a közép-európai térség más országainál is: például a lengyel önkormányzati jogban a közvetlen részvétel egyik hatékonyabb eszköze, a közösségi költségvetés törvényi szinten szabályozott (Makowski, 2019). 17 A szerző Budapest Főváros Főpolgármesteri Hivatal köztisztviselőjeként részt vett a tanulmányban vizsgált helyi önkormányzati rendelet kodifikációjában.…”

A helyi önkormányzati autonómia mind több vetületét érik kihívások az utóbbi években. A feladataikat újradefiniáló önkormányzatok számára kiemelten fontos a jogalkotási képesség, különösen a XXI. század követelményeinek való megfelelést szolgáló új jogintézmények kialakítását lehetővé tevő eredeti jogalkotó hatáskör. Az önkormányzati működés egyik, az utóbbi években fókuszba helyezett területe az állampolgári bevonást szolgáló új mechanizmusok kidolgozása, a részvételt segítő új jogintézmények megalkotása. Az erre irányuló jogalkotás azonban a jelenlegi jogi környezetben gyakran nehézségekbe ütközik. A tanulmány Budapest Főváros Önkormányzata egyik részvételi eszközének megalkotásán keresztül mutatja be, hogy a helyi jogalkotó milyen kihívásokkal szembesül akkor, ha állampolgári bevonás új eszközét igyekszik kialakítani. Ehhez – a helyi jogalkotásra vonatkozó jogszabályi környezet, valamint a helyi részvételi demokrácia eszközeinek rövid bemutatását követően – a tanulmány végigköveti a kodifikációs folyamat egészét, bemutatja az így létrejött jogintézményt, valamint feltárja a társadalmi egyeztetés, a hatásvizsgálat, valamint a kodifikáció során a jogi környezetbe való beillesztés kapcsán felmerült, és a jogszabályhoz fűzött indokolásban is bemutatott dilemmákat.

“…When turning to PB, mayors trade on it for quite different reasons: to strengthen their chances of being re-elected; to establish more transparency and realize a deliberative model of democracy; to claim more power; to strive for more efficiency; to renew political clientelism; or to deepen democracy [27,[29][30][31]. Different aims (mostly related to political affiliation) have an impact on the design of the PB mechanism and propose several possible forms: consultations with citizens [23], transactional or transformational [16], e-PB [32], etc.…”

The paper deals with two topics: Participatory Budgeting (PB) and mayoral impact on its success. Its theoretical background is rooted in the interrelation of the discourse of PB and characteristics of mayors as city leaders. The paper analyzes articles revealing personal, social and political characteristics of mayors and their impact on civic governance. The scope of collected characteristics was researched with a view on how they impact succession and the resilience of PB. The idea behind this analysis was not only to reveal mayoral characteristics and their impact on PB in general, but to test them against the background of the Covid-19 pandemic as an example of an external crisis. PB practice in Lithuanian municipalities was researched. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with mayors or their subordinates and helped to reveal the mayors’ role and impact on PB resiliency. Relevant statistical data was collected and analyzed in order to obtain the specific characteristics. The results proved the impact of mayors’ social and personal backgrounds on PB resiliency, but during challenging times or even crises, political affiliation, interrelation with the council or administrative and political skills are supportive factors. The paper suggests that mayors cannot ensure the persistence of PB alone when finances are scarce during times of crisis. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2022-SPER-011 Full Text: PDF

“…The law defined financial transactions for local governments to deepen citizens' participation in decision-making processes. Local assemblies have acquired the power to consult with residents on the main problems and challenges of the municipality (Markowski, 2019). However, unclear legal regulation led to an arbitrary interpretation of local governments.…”

Participatory budget is an innovative tool for public policymaking, which is characterized by the particpation of residents of territorial administrative units. In the paper, authors focus on the evaluation of the participatory budget within the Visegrad Group, which is linked by specific ties due to the special development of this geopolitical area after the political and social changes in the late 1980s. Identifying the specifics of participatory budgeting in Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia is set as the main goal of the article, specifically evaluating the pilot project model, analysing the legislative framework, which regulates participatory budgeting, and extending this tool at the local level in terms of current statistics. As for the pilot projects, the authors identified differences in the following indicators: initiator of its implementation; participation of citizens and their position and powers in project design; participation in the decision-making on projects in terms of voting; whether a direct physical vote or online form was used. In addition, the authors evaluate the legal framework of the selected states in terms of presence of the primary or secondary regulation. Finally, the quantitative development of participatory budgets is monitored, while the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is also reflected in the paper. Based on the data from other states of the Visegrad Group, in the final chapter the authors present optimization proposals, which they consider applicable in Slovakia. The authors identified at least three possible ways of amending the current Slovak legislation in order to improve the implementation of the participatory budget. The paper specifies the shortcomings in the form of low citizen participation in the drafting phase and in the voting process. The paper also identifies the same bottom-up implementation process in all V4 member countries. Poland is the only V4 country that has enshrined primary legislation on participatory budgets in its legal system.
