You must answer each question (and each sub-question) below and submit your answers via a Microsoft Word via the Assignment dropbox. Please save the file using this format [LastName.FirstName.PLSD4340.Exam3].doc. Each answer should be at least 1.5 pages (please insert page breaks between responses), and you must write in 12pt. Times New Roman, double spaced, with one inch margins all around. This assignment does not require a heading; simply put your name at the top right hand corner using the header function in Microsoft Word. Additionally, do not submit your responses in the indented formatting that is associated with the numbering formatting. Make certain that your responses are flushed to the left margin, just as the questions are below. 1. Participant recruitment is raised as a crucial issue throughout this book. Why is recruitment so important? Explain each of the recruitment strategies discussed in this chapter. What are the benefits and drawbacks of each? 2. The authors assert that the language of participation is not clear or compelling, and that it fails to capture both progressive and conservative visions. Do you agree with these claims? Why or why not? What are your suggestions for talking about participation in a way that is exciting and understandable to people, regardless of their political views? 3. What is participatory budgeting (PB)? What role do you think average citizens can (and should) play in determining how taxpayer dollars are spent in their communities?
