Beskrivning

This discerning book examines the promise and practice of hybrid democratic innovations that combine voting and deliberation within a single participatory design, while remaining anchored in representative democracy. While traditional scholarship has predominantly focused on either vote-centric or talk-centric forms of participation, this book shifts attention to hybrid models that harness the complementary strengths of both.Drawing on diverse empirical examples from global democratic contexts, leading experts investigate how hybrid arrangements are designed, implemented, perceived and embedded in political systems. They adopt a rich multi-method approach to explore variations in design as well as critical evaluations and expectations. Chapters map prototypes, assess real-world experiences and analyse actors’ perspectives to synthesise opportunities and challenges for hybrid processes, providing a foundational framework for future research.Connecting Deliberation and Voting in Democratic Innovations is a key resource for scholars and students of politics and public policy, public administration and management, and regulation and governance. Policymakers and politicians in the field will also benefit from its insights into the potential of hybrid designs and practical lessons.
