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.

Die moderne Demokratie kann als Produkt eines Wechselverhaltnisses zwischen ihren ideellen Grundlagen und konkreten historischen Erfahrungen begriffen werden. Die Beitrage des Bandes nehmen diese Perspektive auf und thematisieren drei zentrale Fragestellungen, die sich aus ihr ergeben: 1. Welche - in der Regel widerstreitenden - ideellen Grundlagen und Ordnungsvorstellungen liegen der Entwicklung der modernen Demokratie zugrunde? 2. In welchen institutionellen Auspragungen erscheint die moderne Demokratie und wie konnen diese systematisch erfasst werden? Was lernen wir aus der Entwicklungsgeschichte und der Praxis der modernen Demokratie hinsichtlich der Umsetzbarkeit abstrakter Ordnungsvorstellungen? 3. Stellt sich die Frage nach der Leistungsbilanz und der Zukunftsfahigkeit von Demokratie. Kann diese historisch geronnene Ordnung neue Herausforderungen bewaltigen und Problemlosungen anbieten?
