Democracy is on the run, and elected governments are suffering from
a legitimacy crisis. Legislatures are increasingly seen as
unrepresentative. To give legitimacy to democratic government,
experts argue that we need more democracy and more opportunities
for direct citizen participation. Representative democracy needs to
be complemented by forms of direct engagement, such as referendums,
popular votes, the recall, citizens' juries, eDemocracy, etc. This
is what we term Complementary Democracy. In this book experts from
the worlds of practice and theory come together to explain - and
occasionally critique - these complements to representative
democracy. The volume provides an invaluable starting point for
anyone who wants to know more about the new directions of
democratic governance, and hopes to inspire those who seek to build
stronger democracies.
