Legitimacy and effectiveness in institutional arrangements in public policies: the housing program My House My Life

Abstract:This paper questions whether the arrangements of the country's new housing program called "My House My Life" (PMCMV) are democratic and effective. In other words, if they encourage the broader participation of numerous players and if they favor the proposed targets being implemented and achieved. The empirical research showed that such arrangements were indeed favorable in terms of achieving the targets, but that they present democratic shortcomings to the extent that the demands of the relevant social players in the area, as popular movements and organized groups of specialists in urban topics, have not, in fact, been considered.

摘要：本文旨在探讨该国名为“我的住房我的生活”（My House My Life，缩写PMCMV）的新型住房项目的机制安排是否兼具民主性与实施成效。换言之，即该机制能否推动多元主体广泛参与，能否助力既定政策目标的落地与达成。实证研究显示，该项目机制在推动目标达成方面确实表现积极，但存在民主层面的缺陷：作为民众运动与城市议题专业组织团体的相关区域社会主体，其诉求实际上未被纳入考量范围。
