Description

If we want to create a democratic culture that invites people in, though, we can’t restrict our thinking only to big-P “Politics” as represented by elections, Westminster, and political parties. Participatory and collaborative decision making happens in all sorts of settings and places.We need a cultural infrastructure for a new democratic settlement. To begin to imagine what this might look like, this paper presents a brief review of current instances where culture and civil society have helped underpin new democratic and participatory societies.
