AB - In recent years, many countries attempt to develop local governance system
and change the representative structure of local politics. Some American cities
like Los Angeles, Seattle and St. Paul have introduced neighborhood council to input residents' and stakeholders' interests to public decision-making process. This study reports public choice model to explain the effectiveness of
neighborhood council, focused on a model by Denzau & Munger. The major
findings of this study are that the effective neighborhood council system tend to enhance the outcomes from local politics and reduce asymmetrical information between the city councilors and the ordinary citizens. Further, the interaction among informed citizens, nonprofit organizations and neighborhood councils often becomes a major factor that can positively influence the rationalization and pluralization of civil society.
