It proceeds with astate of the art and then presents ac ategorization for sorting existing exampleso fc onnections. The main and visionary part of the chapter is dedicated to developing novel models forc onnecting collective,i nclusive will-formation to decision-making.

Über die Bedeutung einer paritätischen Partizipation der Geschlechter herrscht ebenfalls wenig Einigkeit. Die Kontroverse beginnt bereits bei der Frage, welche Handlungen überhaupt als politische Partizipation bezeichnet werden können, mit welchen Methoden diese am sinnvollsten zu erforschen sind und welche Faktoren sowie Kontexte bei der Analyse der Determinanten geschlechtsspezifischer Partizipation berücksichtigt werden sollten. In diesem Beitrag werden die kontroversen Debatten um politische Partizipation der Mainstream-und der genderorientierten Forschung nachgezeichnet und kritisch diskutiert. Darüber hinaus werden (mögliche) Verbindungen und Synergieeffekte zwischen der Mainstream-und der genderorientierten Forschung aufgezeigt.

DMPs are dynamic processes. Flexibility and appropriateness of the design to the particular DMP’s purpose, size, and mandate are critical.
Legitimacy of Deliberative Mini-Publics

It addresses some of the most contentious issues in the field of democratic innovations today including: To what extent should deliberative mini-publics shape decision-making? Should DMPs be empowered to make binding decisions? Are they better off taking an advisory role? What is the basis of DMPs’ legitimacy in the first place?
Do Denizens Represent Denizens? A Case of Foreigners’ Council in Frankfurt
Political Studies Review

The empirical research on the effects of the presence of under-represented groups in representative bodies indicates that “who represents” (descriptive) is as important as “what is being represented” (substantive). In this article, we analyze the extent to which an elected body of denizens (KAV) in the German city of Frankfurt provides a descriptive and substantive representation. We find that in Frankfurt, the body elected by denizens to represent denizens does not represent denizens. In providing inference about the descriptive and substantive representation of denizens in KAV, our research contributes to broadening the study of representation by focusing on an understudied group, non-traditional venues, and claim-making as a form of representative politics.
