Citizens’ Governance Spaces
This article investigates the practical form of citizen engagement that occurs in collective problem-solving efforts such as civic enterprises, grassroots initiatives and self-help groups. Drawing on extensive empirical evidence from diverse policy fields, it articulates the distinct experimental and disruptive policy work that citizens enact in these citizens’ governance spaces and challenges dominant interpretations which view them as either (i…

Uncommon Schools
What does it mean, today, to extend university knowledge to the general public, to empower citizens and communities through higher education? Academics face daunting public skepticism about the overweening power of the educated professional. Conventional ideas of academic professionalism are rooted in a more trusting era in which a “social trustee” model achieved prominence in medicine, law, governance, and education. This way of being a professi…

Thick populism
This article posits that some forms of popular participation offer important resources for democratic renewal. It develops a conceptual distinction between thin and thick varieties of populism. Thin populist movements mobilize popular support to replace elite leaders by undermining or corroding the deliberative and inclusionary principles of representative government. In contrast, thick populist movements seek to modify or alter the practices and…

Participatory Democracy in Unlikely Places
Introduction to the interview In an era when democracy is claimed to be in crisis, citizens are portrayed as increasingly distrustful of politicians and political institutions, and change, if any, is expected to be coming from extra-institutional spaces, Albert Dzur invites us to seek and find the seeds of democratic change within the existing institutions of representative democracy. Dzur’s work captures the difference democratic professionals c…

Public Restorative Justice
Cet article analyse la manière dont la sensibilisation des citoyens aux questions de justice restaurative peut être envisagée d’un point de vue à la fois normatif et pratique. Les exemples étudiés sont ceux des programmes éducationnels, des organisations communautaires non gouvernementales et des prisons qui cherchent à produire un effet public transformatif à travers un engagement plus fort des citoyens ordinaires dans les pratiques de justice. …
An Introduction
Revisiting Informal Justice
Restorative justice is a form of informal justice growing rapidly among criminal justice practitioners. It decenters the focus of criminal justice from the offender breaking a law of the state to the harm caused the victim and community. Resolution is said to come from offenders taking responsibility and making amends for the harm done and from communities supporting the victim and providing offenders with opportunities and skills to reintegrate …

Public Journalism and Deliberative Democracy
Public journalism may be the most significant reform movement in American journalism since the Progressive era. Prompted by flagging popular interest in public life and declining newspaper readership and influenced by ideals of deliberative democracy, public journalists think the promotion of reasonable and informed dialogue among citizens should be part of the role journalists play in a democracy. They have reconstructed traditional reporting pr…
Civic implications of restorative justice theory
Democracy’s “Free School
This essay discusses the jury’s value in American democracy by examining Alexis de Tocqueville’s analysis of the jury as a free school for the public. His account of jury socialization, which stressed lay deference to judges and trust in professional knowledge, was one side of a complex set of ideas about trust and authority in American political thought. Tocqueville’s contemporary Francis Lieber held juries to have important competencies and to …

Punishment and democracy
Leading contemporary branches of punishment theory stemming from the traditional schools of consequentialism and retributivism support a role for public deliberation to secure core values communicated through punishment and to encourage greater accountability for punishment practices. Drawing on Habermas’s democratic theory to develop the ideal of public deliberation, this article explores how punishment policies might be subjected to public rati…
Four Theses on Participatory Democracy
Restorative Justice and Civic Accountability for Punishment
Restorative justice is a normative theory and a reform movement in criminal justice that raises pressing questions for democratic theory. This paper draws attention to the core, democratic, values of restorative justice theory and practice. It argues that what is distinctive and appealing about restorative justice is not that it "restores" rather than "punishes," but that it attempts to make an inherently coercive process more consensual, transpa…
Nationalism, Liberalism, and Democracy
Liberal nationalism is an important recent development in political theory that challenges liberals to acknowledge the significance of nationality in people's lives, and its role in the justification and implementation of liberal policies. If liberal nationalists are correct, national identity serves basic human needs and is not only compatible with liberal ideals of equality and individuality, but must be fostered for these ideals to flourish an…
Value Pluralism versus Political Liberalism
Evaluation de la these de l'incompatibilite entre le pluralisme des valeurs, fonde sur le fait de la difference et sur l'heterogeneite des valeurs, et le liberalisme politique, pronant l'individualisme et l'egalite. Considerant le premier comme une doctrine normative et le second comme une theorie des institutions politiques legitimes, l'A. examine les arguments de la critique pluraliste du liberalisme fondes sur la denonciation des valeurs premi…
Liberal Perfectionism and Democratic Participation
Martha Nussbaum and other "liberal perfectionists" have endorsed a robust doctrine of state responsibility that is perfectionist in its conception of well-being but liberal in its sensitivity to the autonomy of individuals and the differences between them. This doctrine can be understood as an effort to avoid the weaknesses of both an "impartial liberal" model of state welfare responsibility insufficiently attentive to individual need, and a neo-…

Aristotle and Hamilton on Commerce and Statesmanship
Aristotle and Hamilton on Commerce and Statesmanship. By Michael D. Chan. Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 2006. 248p. $44.95. In the terms of the debate over the relative liberalism and republicanism of the American founders, Alexander Hamilton's advocacy of manufacturing, public credit, and a national bank would seem to classify him as characteristically modern and liberal. Hamilton's unswerving dedication to an energetic and powerful ce…
