| Summary: | Participatory governance is a feasible method in the context of a need for
effective governance. With the introduction of participatory governance, the
focus has shifted to how to empower. A comparative study of two cases in
this paper finds that full empowerment is the key to effective governance in
participatory governance. Full empowerment can motivate a community to
participate through the empower of rights and resources and can improve
community participation capacity through the introduction of technical
services. The full empowerment encourages a community to undertake
its due responsibility and thus forms a mechanism of the simultaneous
downward shift of right and responsibility; the refined technical services
enhance community participation capacity and thus develop the mechanism
of self-management and adaptation, and the interactions between multiple
agents produces a coordinating mechanism for government empowerment
and community acceptance. |
