Abstract

In societies with a neo-corporatist tradition, organised interests like civil society organisations (CSOs) are largely embedded in the policy-making process. However, as (local) governments increasingly experiment with new forms of democratic innovation, this challenges the traditionally privileged position of CSOs in the policy-making process. We investigate the attitudes of local CSOs towards different types of policy decision-making instruments with an increasing level of decision-making power by individual citizens. Cluster analysis and a subsequent multinomial logistic regression analysis on survey data show that the extent to which CSOs appreciate increased participation of individual citizens is related to an organisation’s role in democracy (policy influence) and relationship with local government (financial dependence).
