In recent years, municipal digitization has undergone accelerated evolution and development, accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic period. Thus, the public administration has sought to improve, digitally, channels of communication, transparency, and participation with citizens. This research article is based on 23 interviews with different professionals working in City Councils, aiming to analyze, through a qualitative methodology, the new digital spaces for communication and participation that are being developed, as well as forums for meeting and training that, at the local level, seek to promote citizen participation and establish the foundations of an increasingly solid, participatory, and supportive community. Similarly, it delves into aspects related to changes and initiatives in citizen service during the COVID-19 pandemic era, their current evolution and future prospects, as well as the positive and negative aspects of municipal digitization in relation to socioeducational development in municipal contexts and citizen participation. The main results highlight the importance of training in digital skills, generating more efficient channels for information and citizen participation, and the problems associated with the digital divide, especially among older people.

Objectives: To analyze stakeholders’ perceptions of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on citizen participation in Spain and identify the factors influencing the assessment of its severity. This analysis is based on information from two research projects on local citizen participation, modified after the WHO declared the pandemic to include this new context. Methodology: Mixed research methods were used. Quantitative data was collected through web surveys directed at those responsible for citizen participation in municipalities with more than 1,000 inhabitants in Andalusia and Madrid, as well as members of Andalusian advisory councils. Qualitative information was obtained through semi-structured interviews with key informants from the selected case studies. Results: The pandemic interrupted or shifted initiatives to an online format. The perceived severity of the impact is more pronounced in municipalities with greater resources for participation and those governed by left-wing parties. The study identifies significant obstacles to citizen participation due to the pandemic, with variations depending on local governance and resource availability. Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of considering political and resource factors when assessing the resilience of participatory initiatives during crises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: This article seeks to build bridges between two fields of inquiry and intervention that, at the level of academia and international organizations, were so far unconnected: evaluations with a human rights approach and evaluations of participatory processes. Within this framework, we aimed to build criteria and indicators to evaluate the institutional mechanisms of citizen participation from a human rights perspective. Methodology: We carry out a theoretical and normative review through which we identify the defining characteristics of evaluations with a human rights approach and how to apply them in the evaluation of participatory mechanisms. Results: We develop a conceptual and operational framework to evaluate citizen participation mechanisms from human rights standards and dimensions and we build a matrix of indicators (quantitative and qualitative; objective and subjective; of structure, processes and results) that will allow to incorporate different sources and perspectives into the evaluation of these experiences. Conclusions: These criteria and indicators aim to contribute to international monitoring processes referring to the right to citizen participation and serve the purposes of citizenship to demonstrate and claim in cases of non-compliance.

This article analyzes the constitutional implications of the future validity of the Escazú Agreement (Regional Agreement on Access to Information, Public Participation and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters in Latin America and the Caribbean) in the legal Peruvian system. Second, this article analyzes whether there is consistency between the content of this regional treaty on environmental procedural rights and what is prescribed by the Constitution of Peru. This implies analyzing a series of constitutional principles associated with the Ecological Constitution, the principle of sustainability, the fundamental right to enjoy a healthy environment and the constitutional design of state environmental tasks. Through a documentary analysis of normative, jurisprudential and doctrinal sources on environmental matters, environmental procedural rights are described and their consistency at the level of constitutional regulation with other constitutional goods, such as economic freedoms, is analyzed. Finally, Peru faces various political challenges to improve the public management of its natural resources and thereby define its own model of environmental democracy. In this sense, the Escazú Agreement represents a challenge as well as an opportunity to give greater legitimacy to the planning of public decisions on ecosystems and the use of natural resources, and thereby avoid a possible impact on the fundamental right to a healthy environment.

The development of globalization has allowed countless societies to join the digital era, which is characterized by access to information through online channels. The use of e-government and the functioning of online services went from being an option to a necessity, since they became imperative for the vast majority in the development of citizens' activities. The objective of this research was based on analyzing the use of egovernment and the level of performance of online services of the Government of Mendez in the processes of attention to citizenship, which seeks to adapt to the needs and demands of citizens in the digital era. In addition, a mixed methodological design was applied, based on a series of questions that were addressed to the mayor of Santiago de Méndez, the ICT department and the staff working within the GADM. The result was that the online service does not have a good online performance, due to the lack of financial resources to obtain more efficient digital tools that generate benefits to citizens.

The article aims to interpret the administrative management processes of participatory public works budgets in the Manuela Sáenz Zonal Administration in the period 2018-2023. A hermeneutic phenomenological methodology was chosen and four key informants were selected: director of Territorial Management, director of Participatory Management, a neighborhood leader and a resident, to whom a semi-structured interview was applied. The information collected was categorized and triangulated for subsequent understanding and interpretation. The findings reveal that: a) the management of participatory budgets is not being adequately focused so that the community actively participates in the works selection process, b) low level of participation of residents for the actual detection of needs and c) essential the technical training of citizens for the prioritization of works.

The theory of «demoicracy» challenges the capacity of the normative frameworks of classical democracy to judge the democratic legitimacy of the EU's political system. «Demoicracy» makes the different peoples or demoi of the member states and European citizens as a whole the normative subjects of its theory, standing as a transnational third way between sovereignism and supranationalism, as both link democracy to the existence of a single demos. The questions guiding this article are: is 'demoicracy' a genuine alternative to classical theories of European integration, and can 'demoicracy' explain the European Union's recent legitimation strategies? After a thorough analysis of the normative foundations and development of the theory, it is argued that «demoicracy» does not provide an alternative to classical theories of European integration and is not able to explain recent EU legitimation strategies (in particular, deliberative innovations such as the European Citizens' Panels). In any case, «demoicracy» is useful in highlighting that the debate on democratic legitimacy in the EU must also point to relations between member states and between member states and the EU itself.

The Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela establishes the State-society relationship as a transversal axis, made possible through the presence of greater spaces for citizen participation that act in the defense and guarantee of social, civil and political rights. This article identifies these spaces in the field of housing through the actions managed since the 1960s and, particularly, those carried out through the "Great Housing Mission in Venezuela". This article identifies these spaces in the field of housing through the actions managed since the sixties and, particularly, those carried out through the "Great Housing Mission Venezuela" which, without a doubt, has become a social program that promotes the emergence of new leaderships through organizational figures and the involvement of citizens in addressing collective issues that interfere and provide a better quality of life. Through a qualitative approach, with the objective of understanding the role of the citizen in this social program, an approach is presented in the identified spaces for citizen participation. This is analyzed with the understanding that participation seeks to give prominence and co-responsibility to the individual, organized communities and associative entities in the management of public affairs.

In recent times, modernising trends towards an open state model have led to the transformation of public institutions, including parliament. This new approach is based on the axes of transparency, accountability and participation in order to improve the relationship/communication between parliament, and citizens and to strengthen its democratic legitimacy. This article aims to investigate this issue by assessing the transparency and citizen participation on the websites of the lower houses of national parliaments in Latin America to determine whether they are limited to complying with the requirements of the regulations or whether they go further and, therefore, move towards a true culture of open parliament. To address this question, an analytical framework has been generated that is composed of four dimensions (widely recognised in the academic literature) to which a series of indicators are linked: information about parliament (19 indicators); information about parliamentary organisation, functioning and activity (19 indicators); economic and contractual information (17 indicators); and communication and relationship with citizens (30 indicators). In short, the results of the research will provide a diagnosis of the situation that will help to verify that an open parliamentary style has not yet been fully established in Latin America, and also to make a series of reasonable recommendations for developing this new model of lower house.

The lack or low state transparency in public procurement procedures is one of the problems that has been affecting the citizen's right to free access to public information, in addition to generating acts of corruption, little competitiveness, lack of state legitimacy, among others. The objective of this study is to analyze the importance of the Electronic System of State Procurement (Seace) in the free access to information and transparency of public procurement procedures in Peru. The general methods of logic and the dogmatic legal method have been used. We will present a theoretical development, built based on regulations, doctrine, Peruvian jurisprudence, and comparative law. The results show that the Seace portal, through the option "Seace Public Search Engines", allows the search for information in ten different categories related to public procurement. It is concluded that the Seace has become a fundamental tool in the free access to public information. However, it presents problems since in some cases it presents damaged, incomplete, or simply non-existent information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The general objective of the article is to establish the relationship between parenting practices and citizen participation in adolescents, mediated by parental support for autonomy and life skills. Previous research indicates that parental support for autonomy is related to the development of political behaviors, and that life skills may be predictors of civic participation. In Cundinamarca, studies have been carried out on citizen participation in youth, however, these works inquired about institutions that encouraged such participation but did not address parenting practices. A mixed study was approached, using structural equation modeling and in-depth interviews. A total of 298 parents and their adolescent children, residents of three municipalities in the department of Cundinamarca, participated in the study. The results show that there is a significant relationship between parenting practices (communication) and the promotion of life skills (assertive communication, critical thinking and empathy), with greater political participation of adolescents, especially in community advocacy actions. The above allows us to point out the relevance of family variables in the study of civic behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: This article argues that, due to its characteristics, the republican citizenship model is the best alternative for promoting citizen participation in contemporary Western democracies. Objective: The purpose of the text is to analyze its advantages over other citizenship models, as well as to explain the reasons why it is considered the most appropriate approach for the theoretical and practical development of citizen participation. Method: For the elaboration of the article, the documentary research method and the argumentative analysis were used. First, the debate between the visions of representative democracy and participatory democracy is presented, to later examine the influence of the realist and idealist paradigms as political philosophical currents that underlie and sustain the main premises of each of these perspectives of democracy. Results: From the analysis, it is concluded that the republican citizenship model allows overcoming the representation-participation dichotomy, in addition to providing a more solid and congruent foundation for both the theory and the praxis of citizen involvement in public affairs.

This research stems from the current context where bureaucratised and commodified participation processes are on the rise, and from the demand of two groups in the city of Valencia, Cabanyal Horta and the Assemblea Feminista, to generate accessible processes of community participation. In this sense, there is a commitment to the creation of alternative narratives that favour the creation of futures through artistic mechanisms of citizen participation. On the other hand, participation cannot be analysed as a fact isolated from the structures of power, which is why, from an intersectional feminist perspective, the analysis of the participatory experience of women in these artistic experiences is approached: in a mixed and non-organised group and in a non-mixed and organised group. In this way, Feminist Action Research is used as the predominant methodology together with qualitative techniques. Some of the main results show, on the one hand, the potential of artistic interventions and their accessibility to a large part of the population. On the other hand, they point out some structural and contextual obstacles that prevent the full participation of all women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Participatory processes, practices and methodologies have reached an important level of presence, compared to past decades, in the social, academic, research and political spheres. Different aspects of social and citizen participation have been addressed and analysed, but the driving forces are not sufficiently conceptualised, defined, evaluated and categorised. Therefore, this article focuses on such a figure in order to dimension it within a broad participatory process. The emphasis is usually placed more on the application of group dynamics and qualitative or, to a lesser extent, participatory techniques, where the role of the "expert" (technical and/or academic) continues to be more important than the role assumed by the citizenry, especially the unorganised. Based on the analysis of five case studies developed over the last two decades, in which the authors have participated and which are considered revealing, an assessment and exploration is made of the figure of the driving group, what it is and what it is for, how it is integrated into a participatory process and what results it produces.

The present research focuses on analyzing the legal framework of citizen participation in Ecuador, with special emphasis on the popular consultation, a mechanism that allows the community of a locality, region, or nation to express their opinions definitively and bindingly on specific issues that the constituted powers or a part of the citizenry have decided to inquire from the sovereign. The main objective is to systematize the legal foundations that enable effective citizen participation in the political power of the Ecuadorian State. During the research, a detailed analysis of the 2008 Constitution of Ecuador is carried out to evaluate the normative regulation of citizens' participation rights, as well as the jurisprudential recognition established by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador. Also, updated bibliographic material is provided to establish the necessary elements regarding citizen participation as a pillar of democracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article exposes the results achieved in an investigative study aimed at substantiating the proposal of an educommunicative model aimed at promoting citizen participation in the exercise of the right to communication in Loja-Ecuador. It is based on the communication model for social change and Educommunication as a new transdisciplinary paradigm that contemplates knowledge as a procedural, transdisciplinary, interdiscursive and transversal whole within the framework of communicative management for the construction of open and dialogical communicative ecosystems. The regularities found in the diagnosis of the context, created the bases for the construction of the educommunicative model that will act in favor of citizen empowerment in the exercise of their rights to communication.

The wine-growing areas of the Douro river have achieved a great commercial projection under the protection of territorial brands that guarantee their quality in global markets. However, the evolution of consumer preferences and the limits and contradictions of the production models in the vineyard and in the winery, explain the emergence of new differentiation strategies. This article analyses the case of the PDO, where the specificity of its main variety -verdejo- and the investments made to modernise the sector, generated an unusual economic and demographic dynamism in a region where depopulation was widespread. An accelerated growth of vine plantations and wine production and the commercial blockade resulting from COVID-19 have acted as a catalyst in the activation of singularisation strategies. Using participatory methods, the paper explores these processes of change and the role that landscape -as an expression of territorial and viticultural diversity-can play in the marketing of singular wines from La Seca. This municipality, located in the heart of the PDO, stands out for its winemaking tradition and business dynamism, being the most densely wine-growing area in the region of Castilla y León (Spain).
