Abstract
In recent years there has been an ‘institutional turn’ in democratic theory. This survey article focuses on a broad family of institutions: democratic innovations which aim to increase and deepen citizen participation in the political decision-making process. Attention to the design of democratic innovations is of value to the development of both democratic theory and practice.
