The book assembles this toolkit -- the democratic design framework -- through an original blend of design thinking and democratic theory and practice. It shows how to use the framework to renew and enliven our ideas of democracy across a range of contexts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book explores a wide range of institutions, from the familiar (such as parliamentary procedures) to the innovative (such as citizens' assemblies). It underlines the importance of systemic and contextual design, and the practical enactment of democratic values such as equality, freedom and participation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eDemocratic Design\u003c\/em\u003e shows how a comprehensive approach to rethinking the present and future of democratic governance is possible, indeed essential.
