Abstract
Public participation is often viewed as a cornerstone of democracy given that it allows for citizens to participate and play an active role in government decision making. The existing public participation scholarship tends to focus on the mechanisms, processes, and outcomes of public participation. The goal of this paper is to give a brief overview of public participation in public administration as the practice is commonly becoming a key responsibility in public agencies.
