Participatory Budgeting in the Czech Republic: An Instrument Turned into an Ornament
Original language description
Participatory budgeting as an instrument of smart governance has spread through European cities in the past decades. Lately, the concept has also been implemented by several municipalities in the Czech Republic. This paper evaluates that implementation, focusing on both the tools that have been implemented and the extent of the implementation. The paper builds on a dataset containing data on Czech municipalities above 10,000 residents and employs simple methods of descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Primary findings are that the extent of implementation of participatory budgeting in the Czech Republic is very small, in terms of both resource allocation and citizens' participations. The paper concludes that participatory budgeting as it is currently implemented in the Czech municipalities is more of an ornamental detail and a marketing device rather than an instrument increasing political participation of the residents.
