Abstract

Participatory TA - pTA - has since the late 1980’s developed into an established TA practice with a richness in methods and underlying understandings and models. It has been a precursor to newer developments in deliberative democracy, and besides providing decisionmakers with added value of TA, such as open policy cocreation, acceptance insights, and value-based discourses, it is a professionally and personally rewarding mode of TA. The history of pTA is described from a personal as well as a chronological perspective, models of thought underlying the practices of pTA are presented, the specific role of pTA in the wider context of TA is discussed, an overview of the execution phases of pTA is given, and, finally, the potential future of pTA is sketched with a view to the contemporary developments in deliberative democracy.
