Resumo(s)
Worldwide participatory policymaking with civil society has become a
case in point for new patterns of governance at different levels. The enhancement of
public services’ quality compels intertwined challenges to participants, be they
citizens, politicians, or civil servants. Given the limited attention that scientific
literature has paid to understanding how roles and functions of civil servants are
demanded to change through participatory processes, an exploratory action research
was run in 2012 with 29 civil servants of the Municipality of Lisbon. Civil servants
were all engaged in—at least—one of the four participatory processes run by the
administration at that time: Participatory Budget; Bip/Zip; Local Agenda 21;
Simplis. The action research was aimed at grasping the psychological
change-driven dynamics played between these subjects, with the support of psychosociological
theories and methods. Focusing on the analysis of the discourse, as
one of the methods employed towards this end, this text focuses on the specific
methodological apparatus of the discourse analysis approach. This contribution will
hopefully open to further studies on discourse analysis in action research, and
enhance the overall debate on the employment of qualitative methods in participatory
policymaking studies.
