“A Ladder of Citizen Participation”
Sherry R Arnstein
1. Citizen participation is citizen power6/16
What is citizen participation?
What is its relationship to the social imperative of our time?
**The retribution of power that enable thehave-not citizens who is presently excludedfrom political and economic processes tobe deliberately included in the future**
“Citizen Power”
2. Type of participation and non-participation7/16
Sherry R Arnstein (1969)
Typology of eight level of citizen participation which contains rungs of “power”
1. Racism2. Paternalism
3. resistance to power retribution from power-holder’s side
4. inadequacies of the have-not community political socioeconomic infrastructure and
knowledge-based5. difficulty of organizing a representative
and accountable people’s group in the face of futility
6. Alienation
7. distrust.
Rungs limitation :
Sherry R Arnstein (1969)
Places people on advisory boards to rubberstamp; to educate them to the agency
perspective, distorting the participation into public relation joy
Engages citizen in numerous activities, under the guise of citizen involvement in
planning and decision making, but where experts subject the citizens to “clinical group
therapy” to cure them, rather that to fix the original problem
To provide information that is one way to the citizens, or to late to relay effect decisions
and fail to achieve real input; new media, pamphlets response to inquiries, and information
giving (not exchange) meeting are frequent form of one-way communication
Involves citizens in a significant manner, but is sham if there are no assurances that their
input will be fully incorporated in the decisions, or the full range of options and considered;
frequent forms of attitude surveys, neighborhood meetings, and public hearings
Represents tokenism if those previously excluded from power remain a numerical minority
on the board and/or are not accountable to any constituency in the community; another form
is giving only power of advice or planning, but not to turn them into actual decisions
Represents real citizen participation when citizens and governments agree to share
planning and decision-making responsibilities through joint structures, and neither
partner can unilaterally change the agreement. Implicitly stated that citizen have access
to resources comparable to the government partner
Occurs when through negotiations between government and
citizens, citizens gain the dominant decision making position on
programs affecting them to insure accountability to the client’s need
Falls short of the rhetoric of Absolut control, but the intent is that
citizens actually have managerial and policy control and can set the
condition under which government can alter the institution or program
