Description:Is it possible to advance democracy by empowering ordinary citizens to make key decisions about the design of political institutions and policies?

The British Columbia Citizens Assembly represents the first time a citizen body has had the power to reform fundamental political institutions. It was an innovative gamble that has been replicated elsewhere in Canada and in the Netherlands, and is gaining increasing attention in Europe as a democratic alternative for constitution-making and constitutional reform. In the USA, advocates view citizens assemblies as a means for reforming referendum processes. This book investigates the citizens assembly in British Columbia to test and refine key propositions of democratic theory and practice."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
