Abstract

Modern budgeting based on cooperation transforms designs of budgetary policy, accountability systems, processes of identifying public values and others. Ensure citizen-oriented data relating to the budget gets particular importance and shared learning of citizens and government for inclusive budget process becomes main requisite for successful collaboration. There is the difference in using ‘co-production’ between democratic and mixed political regimes with statist direction. The paper analyzes the Russian practice of “budget for the citizens” in the mixed (hybrid) regimes, introduced in 2013 at the federal and regional levels. Imitative institutions of “budget for the citizens” inure for legitimating regimes, but also they are good factors for mutual learning for cooperation. Transparency of budgetary data, its transformation for the citizens, and budgeting, initiated by citizens, effects on the character of Russian designs for inclusive budgeting. As shown in the article, citizens-oriented data do not directly influence the participation in budgeting. They are one of the causes in a complex set of influencing conditions. However, they are organically related to the inclusive model of citizen budget implementation. To study this complexity, a configurative method of comparative analysis (QCA) was used.
