  text: <jats:p>Consultative participation of citizens in political decision-making
    processes has been increasing in order to facilitate democratic legitimacy and
    responsiveness. Consequently, participatory budgets have been established as a
    'best practice' for consultative participation of citizens in political decision-making
    processes. The authors compare participatory budgets of 31 German municipalities.
    An analysis of differences between successfully and unsuccessfully rated participatory
    budgeting processes provides informative insights and allows for in-depth comparison
    on a municipal level. The authors show that external service providers and electronic
    participation channels significantly increase the number of participatory citizens
    and are positively connected with pursued objectives of dialog processes and public
    responsiveness as well as efficient and effective decisions. Furthermore, the
    acceptance of all participants proved to be a key factor for a successful public
    participation process. The authors' analysis opens up new starting points for
    further research.</jats:p>
