论文摘要
在地方政府内部嵌入创新的参与过程和技术的具有挑战性的任务通常属于地方议会官员。使用定性数据收集和分析，我们调查了苏格兰地方议会的持续工作，试图在其机构内运行参与式预算（PB）的过程，使用数字平台来支持这一点及其所面临的挑战。为此，本文借鉴了经验材料，以支持对嵌入背后的动态或力量的日益讨论。我们的分析表明，仅正式协议并不能确定过程。地方议会官员必须在代表性结构与新的创新工作方式之间的过渡空间中担任调解员，使根深蒂固的动力动力不安。为此，他们必须经过良好的训练和资源丰富，包括有效使用数字平台作为流程的一部分的能力。这为参与提供了必要，易接收，透明和审议的空间。
The challenging task of embedding innovative participatory processes and technologies within local government often falls upon local council officers. Using qualitative data collection and analysis, we investigate the ongoing work of Scottish local councils seeking to run the process of participatory budgeting (PB) within their institution, the use of digital platforms to support this and the challenges faced. In doing so this paper draws on empirical material to support the growing discussion on the dynamics or forces behind embedding. Our analysis shows that formal agreement alone does not make the process a certainty. Local council officers must work as mediators in the transitional space between representative structures and new, innovative ways of working, unsettling the entrenched power dynamics. To do so they must be well trained and well resourced, including the ability to use digital platforms effectively as part of the process. This provides the necessary, accessible, transparent and deliberative space for participation.
