Descripción
Sumario:This chapter seeks to discover whether there is a systematic relationship between the ideology of governing parties and the types and number of participatory institutions they establish. If such an association exists, among which types of parties and kinds of participatory institutions we can anticipate its emergence remains unclear. These questions have received limited systematic attention in prior research. The chapter addresses the gaps in the literature using a dataset containing information about local participation policies implemented in over 400 Spanish municipalities, an especially favourable context for these differences in participation policy to emerge. The results indicate that some differences emerge, but they are relatively minor. The three main party families exhibit more similarities than differences regarding the type and quantity of participatory institutions they established. The existing distinctions point to a slightly more intense participation policy when these departments are led by radical left parties.
