Municipal Innovations in Non-governmental Public Participation: United Kingdom and Latin America, 2006-2008

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><br>This is a qualitative data collection.<br>
<br>
This research focused on municipal innovations in public policy making that have been notable in Latin America since the 1980s and the UK since the 1990s. The core research question was: what tensions, changes and outcomes arise when non-governmental actors begin to make use of these new opportunities for public participation at the local/municipal level? <br>
<br>
The research team explored this in six cities, three in Latin America (Porto Alegre, Medellin and Caracas) and three in the UK (Manchester, Bradford and Salford). A range of methodologies were used including an interactive rather than extractive research methodology which the researchers called 'co-producing knowledge', participant observation, in-depth interviews and informal group session inquiry methods.<br>
<br>
Users should note that only the in-depth interview transcripts are available as part of the data collection available from the UK Data Archive. This excludes the interview transcripts from Porto Alegre which were not deposited. The interviews from Medellin and Caracas are in Spanish. The case study of Salford was not funded by the ESRC but interview transcripts are available.<br>

本研究聚焦于20世纪80年代以来拉丁美洲及1990年代以来英国在公共政策制定领域中值得关注的市政创新实践。核心研究问题为：当非政府行为体（non-governmental actors）开始利用地方/市政层面公共参与的新机遇时，会产生哪些张力、变化与结果？<br>
<br>
研究团队在六个城市开展了探索，其中拉丁美洲三个（阿雷格里港、麦德林、加拉加斯），英国三个（曼彻斯特、布拉德福德、索尔福德）。研究采用了多种方法，包括一种被研究者称为“知识共生产”（co-producing knowledge）的互动式而非提取式研究方法、参与式观察、深度访谈及非正式小组会议调查法。<br>
<br>
用户需注意，英国数据档案馆（UK Data Archive）提供的数据集合中仅包含深度访谈转录文本（transcripts）。其中不包括未存档的阿雷格里港访谈转录文本；麦德林和加拉加斯的访谈转录文本为西班牙语；索尔福德的案例研究未获英国经济与社会研究理事会（ESRC）资助，但访谈转录文本可供使用。<br>
