title = "Advisory Councils at the Local Level: Do they Add Value for Participation?",
abstract = "It is expected that advisory councils created at the municipal level will promote the participation of local residents in a specific area of local interest, reaching a better understanding of the complexity of municipal governance and affecting the quality of life. The chapter examines whether advisory/consultative councils at the municipal level cover fully the spheres that might be important for municipal residents and in what way the council shapes the local decision-making process and outcomes. Based on an in-depth analysis of the advisory functions of these councils, the chapter shows the specificities and results of consultations.",
