摘要:The good experience of the Catalan government (Generalitat) is an example of citizen participation at an autonomous level. The model of distant participation can learn from local experiences, but should also discuss some of the field’s dominant issues, so that the debate among entailment and consulting becomes irrelevant. A new model design based on transversal strategies can give way to deliberations and participative processes. Such processes must guarantee public responsibility in order to face political commitments for the collective demands.
