Citizen Participation in Chile

More about the book

Focusing on the mechanisms of citizen participation in public management, this book explores how the Biobío region developed regulations for regional governments. It highlights the absence of participatory instruments prior to this initiative and examines the process through which citizen involvement was fostered. Key findings reveal that while the initiative engaged local stakeholders, broader public awareness and participation remain limited. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding and analyzing this civic exercise to enhance future engagement in regional governance.
