abstract |
Barcelona and Manchester have become paradigmatic examples of ‘governance-beyond-the-state’,
‘new localism’ or ‘local state entrepreneurialism’. Whatever the label, citizen participation
has become a key feature of governance in each city. This article argues that a useful
way of understanding the developing relationship between governance and citizen participation
is through the analytical perspective of governmentality. This perspective illuminates
two paradoxes that characterize the new governance arrangements in these two European
cities. The first paradox is that the power of the state is not necessarily diminished
despite the emerging plurality of actors involved in governance. The second paradox
lies in the fact that the spread of participatory practices as an integral element
of new modes of governance does not necessarily lead to citizen empowerment. |
