The Ostbelgien Model - Institutionalising Deliberative Democracy

Mini-publics, citizens' assemblies and citizens' panels with randomly selected citizens are spreading across Europe. Better political decisions, more trust in democratic processes - politicians increasingly take note of the advantages of new forms of deliberative participation and establish permanent mechanisms in their representative systems.

Dear Readers,

The "East Belgium” model is one of the most developed approaches in linking deliberative forms of participation with parliament and government. It has become a role model of how new forms of citizens participation can be embedded into the political system. This shortcut shows how permanent citizens' assemblies can go hand in hand with the functioning of parliamentary and governmental politics.

The Ostbelgien Model - Institutionalising Deliberative Democracy

The SHORTCUT publication series presents interesting approaches, methods and examples for solving democratic challenges in a concise and clear format.

We hope you will enjoy the reading!
