This book shows how the introduction of intermediation is relevant
in studying political and public policy processes, as they are
increasingly accompanied by grey spaces in public and non-public
arenas that cannot be categorized as purely representative or
purely participative. Instead, 'hybrid' mechanisms are developing
in the policy-making process, which bring in new actors who either
are unelected while being required to represent or advocate for the
common good of others or are directly elected but challenged by
identity/rights-based issues of the people they are required to act
in the best interest of. By proposing a conceptual frame on
intermediation and addressing five different Latin American
countries and a wide range of case studies -from human rights,
labour relations, neighbourhood management, municipal
bureaucracies, social accountability, to complex national systems
of citizen participation-this volume shows the versatility and
validity of a tridimensional frame, the "cube of political
intermediation" (CPI) as a tool for analysing public policy and
understanding contemporary democratic innovation in Latin America.
