Democracies are currently undergoing a period of both challenge and
renewal. Democratic innovations are proliferating in politics,
governance, policy, and public administration. This Handbook of
Democratic Innovation and Governance advances understanding of
democratic innovations by critically reviewing their importance
throughout the world. The overarching themes are a focus on
citizens and their relationship to these innovations, and the
resulting effects on political equality and policy impact. The
Handbook covers different types of democratic innovations; their
potential to combat current problems with democracy; the various
actors involved; their use in different areas of policy and
governance; their application in different parts of the world; and
the methods used to research them. Contributors therefore offer a
definitive overview of existing research on democratic innovations,
while also setting the agenda for future research and practice.
Featuring a critical combination of theoretical, empirical and
methodological work on democratic innovations, this insightful
Handbook balances depth, originality and accessibility to make it
an ideal research companion for scholars and students of democratic
governance alike. Public administrators and participation
practitioners will also benefit from its guidance on citizen
engagement processes. Contributors include: G. Allegretti, J.
