本文讨论的问题是，在日益复杂的政策环境中，政府如何建立和管理公众咨询流程，从而产生良好的结果。本文借鉴民主理论和有关网络和互动治理的文献的见解，讨论了公共协商过程的组织和结果。对四个比利时案例的分析表明，缺乏开放程序规则并不妨碍取得良好结果。其次，管理自主权的水平与流程设计和管理的强度呈正相关。三是流程设计和管理集约化的案例，整体效果较好。这些发现对文献中的一些规范性假设提出了质疑，提出了有关进入、讨论范围和互动的开放流程规则的必要性。与规则开放相比，集约化的流程设计和管理以及适当适应政策情况的规则可能是取得良好结果的更好方法。这些发现挑战了立法详细规定需要咨询谁、咨询什么以及如何咨询的必要性。
This article addresses the question of how governments can set up and manage, in an increasingly complex policy environment, processes of public consultation that lead to good outcomes. Drawing upon insights of democratic theory and literature on network and interactive governance, the article discusses the organization and outcomes of public consultation processes. The analysis of four Belgian cases shows that the absence of open process rules does not prevent good outcomes. Second, the level of managerial autonomy is positively correlated with the intensity of process design and management. Third, cases with intensive process design and management have better overall results. These findings question some normative assumptions in the literature, positing the need for open process rules regarding entrance, scope of discussion, and interaction. Intensive process design and management with rules properly accommodating the policy situation is possibly a better means of achieving good results than rule openness. These findings challenge the need for legislation stipulating in detail who needs to be consulted, about what, and how.
