Innovating democracy? : the means and ends of citizen participation in Latin AmericaPogrebinschi, ThamyEnglishBookSince democratization, Latin America has experienced a surge in new forms of citizen participation. Yet there is still little comparative knowledge on these so-called democratic innovations. This Element seeks to fill this gap. Drawing on a new dataset with 3,744 cases from 18 countries between 1990 and 2020, it presents a large-N cross-country study of democratic innovations to date. It also introduces a typology of twenty kinds of democratic innovations, which are based on four means of participation, namely deliberation, citizen representation, digital engagement, and direct voting.2023Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2023.Political participation—Latin AmericaDemocracy—Latin AmericaBook9781108690010
