Literature Review on Citizen Participation in Local Government

In the Encyclopedia of Public Administration and Public Policy, [1] Anthony J. Nownes offers the following summary about the topic of Citizen Participation in Local Government: Citizens can participate in government and politics in a variety of ways. This brief entry examines what scholars have learned about citizen participation in local government and politics. It focus on four forms of political participation in particular: voting; joining interest groups; joining political parties; and contacting local government officials. While political scientists and scholars of public administration have learned a great deal about citizen participation in local government and politics, we are far from a complete understanding of the phenomenon.
