Existing research shows that open government can result in better governance outcomes. However, there remains a gap in our understanding of how open government’s two component dimensions of transparency and participation – “vision” and “voice” – affect governance outcomes, and how they relate to each other within public decision-making. We use a survey experiment to test the impact of transparency and participation on a range of governance outcomes (satisfaction, perception of fairness, and trust) in a municipal decision-making process. The findings show that both transparency and participation positively affect these governance outcomes. However, we do not find support for an interaction effect of transparency and participation. Implications for research and practitioners are discussed.

<p>Article 30 of LINDB - The public duty to increase legal certainty</p><p> </p><p>A LINDB constitui um sistema de aplicação do Direito Público, por meio de condicionantes de validade das decisões, lado a lado com respectivos parâmetros de aplicabilidade. O artigo 30, aqui comentado, diz respeito ao dever de instauração e incremento da segurança jurídica<em> </em>por meio do aperfeiçoamento do desenho institucional da ordem normativa. Ele convive com os fenômenos da indeterminação do direito, do impacto do constitucionalismo na atividade decisória estatal e foca no dever de criação de precedentes<em> </em>(<em>lato sensu</em>), como critérios de racionalidade, legitimidade e institucionalidade da atividade decisória pública.</p><p> </p><p class="Pa32">LINDB today constitutes a system of application of Public Law, by means of conditioners of validity of the decisions, side by side with parameters of applicability of these same decisions. Article 30, which will be discussed here, concerns the duty to establish legal certainty by improving the institutional design of the normative order. It coexists with the phenomena of the indeterminacy of law, of the impact of constitutionalism on the state's decision-making activity, and thus focuses on the duty to create precedents, like judicial ones, when these are presented as criteria of rationality, legitimacy and institutionality of public decision-making activity, arguments object of this paper.</p>

This article explores child welfare workers’ experiences of children’s participation in decision making in the child protection system. The systematic review follows the principles of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement and includes 12 peer-reviewed articles published in academic journals from 2009 to 2019. Findings indicate that children’s participation in decision making is generally limited or nonexistent. The age of the child is an important determining factor concerning whether the child is given the opportunity to participate in decision making. Potential harm for children that may result from participation is considered when deciding on whether to include a child in the decision-making process.
