This book addresses one of the greatest challenges of our age: that
of building democratic polities where all can realize their rights
and claim substantive citizenship. In recent years, innovations in
governance have created a plethora of new democratic spaces in many
countries. Yet there remains a gap between the intention to
institutionalize participation and the reality of exclusion of
poorer and marginalized citizens. Through case studies of a
diversity of institutions - hospital facility boards in South
Africa, a national-level deliberative process in Canada, sectoral
management councils and community groups in Brazil, India, Mexico
and Bangladesh, participatory budgeting in Argentina, NGO-created
forums in Angola and Bangladesh, community forums in the UK, and
new intermediary spaces created by social movements in South Africa
- contributors examine how the democratic potential of these new
spaces might be enhanced.
