本文重新审视了环境（制度和政治）在有效的公众参与过程中的重要性。它通过一个难得的比较机会来检验两个英国废物管理机构的公众参与过程的有效性，在这两个机构中，同一家废物处理公司既是提供废物管理服务（包括新的废物转化能源设施）的主要承包商，而且同样的工作人员提供了公众参与。审问这些案件提供了一个机会，让我们有机会把肉放在有时“抽象”的背景框架的骨头上。虽然参与过程在伙伴关系和协商民主时代支持有效的地方治理，但本文指出，如果缺乏对当地情况的详细了解和回应，所采用的方法就无法发挥作用，包括公共和私营部门之间合作伙伴关系的强度、对参与的政治支持程度以及传统制度家长制仍然占主导地位的程度。
This paper takes a new look at the importance of context – institutional and political – in effective public engagement processes. It does so through a rare comparative opportunity to examine the effectiveness of processes of public engagement in two UK waste authorities, where the same waste company was involved as both the primary contractor for the delivery of the waste management service (including new energy-from-waste facilities) and, furthermore, the same staff delivered the public engagement. Interrogating these cases affords the opportunity to place flesh on the bones of the sometimes ‘abstract’ skeleton of context. While engagement processes support effective local governance in an era of partnerships and deliberative democracy, the paper identifies that the methods adopted cannot be played out devoid of detailed understanding and response to local context, including the strength of partnership working between the public and private sector, the degree of political support for engagement, and the extent to which a traditional institutional paternalism still dominates.
