For a growing number of people, democracy has become synonymous
with broken promises and abandoned commitments. Governments
everywhere are not listening to their citizens' concerns on matters
of fundamental importance. As a result, ordinary men and women of
all political persuasions are demanding transformations, not just
to government policies, but to the methods of governance
themselves. They realize that in the periods between general
elections, they have great difficulty having their voices heard,
because they have no formal role in constructing political agendas.
This book focuses on one way to address this problem, by
establishing a continual dialogue between individuals and their
governments, hence forcing politicians to constantly pay attention
to "the people." Larry Patriquin argues for the creation of
permanent citizens' assemblies, which would be charged with
examining issues of public concern and giving advice to
governments. For those troubled by our current democratic impasse,
Permanent Citizens' Assemblies: A New Model for Public Deliberation
will give hope that practical reforms are possible and that new
institutions can become effective components of governance in
nations across the globe.
