Political participation – individual citizens taking part in the body politic – is a globally accepted ideal. But opinions differ about how to put this ideal into practice, leading to a variety of forms and implementations. The essays in this volume chart the tension at different times and places, from the discovery of citizen participation in antiquity to the present.
