Abstract

Public engagement has become a noticeable activity for parliaments across the world. However, we lack understanding of its role despite considerable developments in scholarly work on public engagement in the sciences and on deliberative and participatory democracy by social scientists. This article provides a framework to understand the significance of parliamentary public engagement and to evaluate its effectiveness. It explains how parliamentary public engagement has emerged because of a representational shift in who is doing the representing in parliament and in what is represented, following key societal changes. We define parliamentary public engagement, showing the importance of differentiating between the activity, its effects and broader democratic ideals. We identify information and education as the types of engagement activity most developed by parliaments, with much still to do in consultation and participation activities. The article finishes with a discussion of seven key challenges in developing and implementing effective institutional parliamentary public engagement practices.

将公众参与发展为议会的核心机构作用
公众参与已成为世界各国议会的一项引人注目的活动。然而,我们缺乏对其作用的理解,尽管社会科学家在公众参与科学和审议和参与式民主方面的学术工作取得了相当大的进展。本文提供了一个框架来理解议会公众参与的重要性并评估其有效性。它解释了议会公众参与是如何出现的,因为在关键的社会变革之后,谁在议会中做代表以及代表什么。我们定义了议会公众参与,显示了区分活动、其影响和更广泛的民主理想的重要性。我们将信息和教育确定为议会最发达的参与活动类型,在协商和参与活动方面仍有许多工作要做。文章最后讨论了制定和实施有效的制度性议会公众参与实践的七个关键挑战。
