Abstract
Description
Con la intención de profundizar en uno de los temas centrales para la investigación actual sobre democracia participativa, este trabajo analiza la incidencia del diseño institucional sobre la participación ciudadana, centrándose en una experiencia concreta: los concejos vecinales de Montevideo. Con esta intención se analiza a) el diseño institucional de dichos concejos, b) su incidencia sobre la definición de políticas públicas, c) su funcionamiento en tanto “escuelas de ciudadanía” y d) los niveles de adhesión ciudadana que convocan. Las conclusiones del estudio señalan que el diseño limita considerablemente los resultados de los concejos vecinales tanto en términos de la influencia
que tienen en la toma de decisiones como para el desarrollo de virtudes cívicas y capital político. Asimismo se concluye que el declive de la participación a lo largo del tiempo se relaciona con el diseño institucional.
With the intention of exploring one of the central themes in current studies on participatory democracy, this study analyzes the influence of institutional design on citizens’ participation, focusing on a concrete experience –the neighborhood councils of Montevideo. The following is analyzed: a) The institutional design of these councils, b) The influence of these councils on the definition of public policies, c) Their operation as “citizenship schools,” and d) The levels of citizen support that they convoke. The conclusions of the study signal that design considerably limits the performance of neighborhood councils in terms of both the influence that they have in decision-making as well as the development of civic virtues and political capital. Thus, it is concluded that declines in participation over time is related to institutional.
