Stakeholder networks and inclusive public participation mechanisms in the public budgeting process
The local government budget process involves a variety of stakeholders. As part of this process, local governments may use public participation mechanisms, ranging from neighborhood meetings to citizen committees, to engage stakeholder groups and stakeholder networks. To test this relationship, this article uses survey data from 294 senior budget and finance officers in the United States. Regression estimates show a positive association between the use of citizen committees and all but one stakeholder group. Further, neighborhood associations are the only type of permanent group that is consistently associated with multiple stakeholder groups. Collectively, the regression estimates suggest that organizations are strategically engaging intensely with selected, intentional citizen committees, but that increased participation mechanism use may be illusory if taken out of venue context. These findings call into question the different public participation mechanisms that governments can use to be inclusive of more stakeholders during the public budgeting process.
