This article challenges the conventional wisdom that enthusiastic state support is a prerequisite to building strong participatory institutions. Through an analysis of Colombia’s planning councils, this study develops the concept of the societydriven participatory institution, in which civil society actors, rather than the state, undertake the core tasks involved in implementing participatory institutions. The article argues that while state neglect limits their involvement in decisionmaking, society-driven participatory institutions can still develop important policymaking roles in agenda setting and in monitoring and evaluating public policy.

社会驱动的参与机构：哥伦比亚规划委员会的经验教训

本文挑战了传统观点，即热情的国家支持是建立强大参与机构的先决条件。通过对哥伦比亚计划委员会的分析，本研究提出了社会驱动的参与机构的概念，在该机构中，公民社会行为者而不是国家承担了实施参与机构所涉及的核心任务。本文认为，虽然国家忽视限制了他们参与决策，但社会驱动的参与性机构仍然可以在议程设置以及监测和评估公共政策方面发挥重要的决策作用。
