A masterful guide to the emerging world of participatory innovation in Southern Europe.' -- John S. Dryzek, Australian National University, Distinguished Professor of Political Science This wonderful book makes welcome and significant contributions to the literature on participatory democracy. The authors offer thoughtful analysis of comparative data on attempts to institutionalize participatory initiatives. But just as significantly, the focus is on Southern Europe: an arena of participatory activity that has been overlooked in the literature for too long. -- Graham Smith, University of Westminster, Professor of Politics This remarkable book represents the best new trends in the studies of politics today: it is empirically very rich without being empiricist; it is theoretically sophisticated; it draws on the logics of both the case study and of the comparison; and it is attentive to culture and context without being reductive. Its authors are each individually important in the landscape of political science, but the book is actually greater than the sum of its parts. I expect it will set the next generation of research agendas. -- Gianpaolo Baiocchi, New York University 'Deploying a sophisticated multi-method approach, Font, della Porta, Sintomer and their colleagues take the study of participatory possibilities to a new level.
