Abstract

This paper reviews existing models of citizen participation and proposes a new model to facilitate the shared understanding necessary for successful collaborations such as the coproduction of digital government products and services by citizens and government. The proposed new model is intended for use in citizen and government collaborations at the implementation stage of the policy process and includes categories for both citizen participation and citizen expertise. The new model also implies that citizens or citizens and government together are making decisions regarding the amount of citizen's participation in the collaboration.
