      abstract = {This book analyses the impact of participatory governance  on cultural development, explaining why cultural  participatory practices can lead either to positive  sustainable effects or to unexpected and controversial  ones. It focuses on four projects realized in the two  European Capitals of Culture of 2013 Marseille-Provence  (France) and Kosice (Slovakia) within the Programme  Quartiers Creatifs and the SPOTs Programme. By combining  different strands of the Democratic Theory and applying the  process tracing methodology, the book argues that  participation produces cultural developmental processes  only when a certain intensity of trust is reached among the  various stakeholders. In the presence of fully-fledged  trust, participation activates a reinforcing chain of  capacity-building and social capital that nurture long-term  cultural networks. On the contrary, in the absence of  fully-fledged trust, participation can generate  contestation movements or isolated cultural production.  Uniquely, the book challenges the optimistic aura of  participatory governance of culture, showing its  conflicting but always productive nature. Desiree Campagna  is a researcher in policy analysis and evaluation, focusing  on the cultural and social sectors. She specializes in  cultural rights, intercultural and educational policies,  participatory governance, and impact evaluation  methodologies.},
