Description
Democratic Innovations explores ways to increase citizen participation in politics. As disillusionment with traditional institutions grows, there's interest in involving citizens more in decision-making processes that affect their lives.
The book examines various democratic innovations from around the world, including participatory budgeting, Citizens' Assemblies, and e-democracy experiments. It offers a systematic analysis of these diverse approaches, drawing lessons for future development in both theory and practice.
