THE GAMIFICATION OF CITIZENS PARTICIPATION IN P...

This book examines the use of game elements to encourage citizens to participate in political
decision-making and the planning of large-scale public sector projects. It argues that success
is based on a personal concern with the project and a belief in the influence on political
decision making  but also on fun. Without fun  only a very small group of the 'usual suspects'
will participate  especially in classic policymaking approaches like citizens' panels which
require time and physical attendance. The book also examines the relationship between
representative democracy and citizen participation from the perspective of direct democratic
instruments in Germany. Readers from different countries with different political systems can
decide for themselves  if and how the results from Germany are transferable to their respective
conditions. Grounded in theoretical literature and statistical data  the book also makes use of
narratives  applying a 'storytelling' approach to the case studies.
