Jack - thanks for the mention. In the Guide to Effective Participation I've suggested a three-way framework of stance (the ladder), degree of stakeholder involvement, and time. That aims to pick up your point that different people want different degrees of involvement, and it takes time to get involved. Just how far people want to engage will also depend on how important an issue is to them. Lots of variables.
I wrote the Guide 10 years ago, and these days things are even more complicated (in the UK anyway) because there are far more agencies - powerholders - to argue about what degree of involvement to offer people. So top-down engagement is difficult to manage effectively, while bottom-up it's pretty confusing for everyone. The ladder may be useful to get people thinking, but we need messier models. ]]>
