“…The influencing factors of public participation in decision-making include the interested parties, market development and the information level [71], and government credibility, government response to the public, and government information transparency [72]. In the context of governance corruption, the influencing factors of public participation include the arrangement of the political and economic system, social and cultural environment, individual population characteristics, age, literacy level, channels, public focus, and information disclosure [73][74][75]. To effectively operate any organization, effective communication based on mutual trust is necessary [76].…”

The globalization process and acceptance of a new paradigm for world development aimed at attaining sustainable development require extending the concept of good governance, which allows the improvement of institutional quality. At the same time, governance performance depends on corruption and public participation in national audits. The paper aimed to analyze the impact of public participation in national audits on corruption governance. The object of investigation was 30 Chinese provinces for 2008–2017. The study applied a regression model with the preventive, exposed, and defensive functions of audits. The findings showed that the “governance view” of the audit is the root cause of the audit. In addition, the “immune system” function of national audits has an inhibitory effect on corruption, among which the deterrent effect of the defense function is the most-influential. The influence of public participation in national audits on corruption governance is mainly reflected in the deterrence and resistance function of national audits. The paper contributes to audit theory by incorporating the public participation mechanism, improving the governance path of “national audit—public participation—corruption governance”. It allows improving the national audit “immune system” function by considering the democratic connotation of decision-making and developing a good governance environment.

Despite some skepticism regarding its effectiveness, public participation has become a central facet of environmental decision making, including governments' various decisions to address climate change. However, the existing literature tends to address the general benefits of environmental public participation rather than examine details of how such participation actually occurs and how it differs among nations—even among nations all purportedly pursuing similar public participation goals. This article begins to fill that knowledge gap by examining law's key role in structuring how the public in different countries may actually participate in environmental decision making, including in unfolding national agendas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change impacts. Both the United States and European Union member states have decades of experience in writing—and rewriting—public participation into their environmental laws. This article actively explores and compares how the laws of the United States, the European Union, and the Netherlands (as an exemplar of an EU member state) structure public participation in environmental decision making in order to assess how far along the scale of public participation categories each government has progressed. It concludes that, for the moment, United States environmental law more often allows for public collaboration and empowers the public to make certain kinds of environmental decisions—although a new law in the Netherlands may soon encourage more creative and collaborative forms of public participation there, as well.
