“…The willingness to participate should be increased by fairness, inclusiveness and citizen-friendly design of participation measures (Klages, 2007;Stutzer & Frey, 2000). Especially consultative participation approaches meet the modern need of citizens for freedom of expression with their non-binding opportunities to participate and their problem focus (Pfenning & Benighaus, 2008). Hereby, the needs of public participation in decision-making processes are addressed without demanding a permanent involvement or a long-term organizational commitment (Roth, 2011;Sarcinelli et al, 2008).…”

“…An essential premise of successful public participation is the acceptance of measures by both, the citizens and the government, as well as administration (Pfenning & Benighaus, 2008).

Consultative participation of citizens in political decision-making processes has been increasing in order to facilitate democratic legitimacy and responsiveness. Consequently, participatory budgets have been established as a 'best practice' for consultative participation of citizens in political decision-making processes. The authors compare participatory budgets of 31 German municipalities. An analysis of differences between successfully and unsuccessfully rated participatory budgeting processes provides informative insights and allows for in-depth comparison on a municipal level. The authors show that external service providers and electronic participation channels significantly increase the number of participatory citizens and are positively connected with pursued objectives of dialog processes and public responsiveness as well as efficient and effective decisions. Furthermore, the acceptance of all participants proved to be a key factor for a successful public participation process. The authors' analysis opens up new starting points for further research.
