Holum, Marthe. "Citizen Participation: Linking Government Efforts, Actual Participation, and Trust in Local Politicians". International Journal of Public Administration. March 13, 2022. https://www.tandfonline.com/...

Without participation, local government initiatives have a limited effect on improving trust in local politics and politicians, resulting in much more challenging policy implementation. Without the effective involvement of citizens in local government decision-making, participation is mainly protest-related. Citizen participation in government policy-making and implementation is considered essential for true democracy. Participation is the way for the government to understand the needs of the public and for the public to monitor governmental operations. Rather than meetings or public hearings, low-threshold web-based initiatives appear to be the most effective participation mechanism.
