A detailed new examination of the initiatives governments are
exploring to reform the institutions and procedures of liberal
democracy in order to provide more opportunities for political
participation and inclusion. Combining theory and empirical case
studies, this is a systematic evaluation of the most visible and
explicit efforts to engineer political participation via
institutional reforms. Part I discusses the phenomenon of
participatory engineering from a conceptual standpoint, while parts
II, III and IV take a comparative, as well as an empirical,
perspective. The contributors to these sections analyze
participatory institutions on the basis of empirical models of
democracy such as direct democracy, civil society and responsive
government and analyze the impact of these models on political
behaviour. Part V includes exploratory regional case studies on
specific reform initiatives that present descriptive accounts of
the policies and politics of these reforms. Delivering a detailed
assessment of democratic reform, this book will of strong interest
to students and researchers of political theory, democracy and
comparative politics.
