Many democratic theorists have viewed the recent innovations
adopted throughout Latin America in a positive light. This
evaluation has engendered the idea that all innovations are
democratic and all democratic innovations are able to foster
citizenship. Presenting a realistic analysis of both the positive
and negative aspects of innovation, this book argues that these
innovations ought to be examined at the intersection between design
and the political system. The Two Faces of Institutional Innovation
offers a new perspective on developments such as participatory
budgeting, the National Electoral Institute (INE) and the Federal
Electoral Institute (IFE) in Mexico and comites de vigilancia in
Bolivia, and evaluates the extent to which, in reality, citizens
were involved in decision-making, distributive policies and citizen
education. Further chapters also examine the expansion of
innovation to the field of judicial institutions - one of the key
areas in which innovation took place in Latin America, showing that
the role of legal corporations in democracy cannot be compared with
the role of engaged citizens. Contemporary and astute, this book
will captivate students and scholars researching in the areas of
innovation policy and regulatory governance. Its analysis of the
positive and negative aspects of democratic innovation will also
benefit democratic theorists and policy-makers alike.
