Abstract
As citizens become more concerned about the effects of public policy and administration on health and social well-being, it is unclear if current mechanisms for citizen participation share enough policymaking power to support the types of innovations that could produce socially beneficial reforms. This chapter reviews the existing literature on the question and draws insights from two case studies of water governance in Zhejiang Province, China. Although initial results suggest that citizen participation in these cases increased citizen satisfaction with environmental policy, increased capacity of government to regulate with supervision from society, and improved water quality in some cases, there are problems with sustainability for NGO-mobilized participation and challenges to meaningful citizen participation for government-initiated participation. Incorporating citizens into public administration in a meaningful way requires sharing policymaking power, and thus far, this is not happening. More robust citizen participation is necessary to develop innovative governance solutions at the environment-health-social development nexus.
