From crowdsourcing and town hall<br />meetings to government experiments with social media, participatory politics increasingly<br />seem like a revolutionary antidote to the decline of civic engagement and the<br />thinning of the contemporary public sphere.

Resisting an<br />oversimplified account of participation as empowerment, this collection of<br />essays brings together a diverse range of leading scholars to reveal surprising<br />insights into how dilemmas of the new public participation play out in politics<br />and organizations.
