Table of ContentsReviews'John Burnheim's Demarchy Manifesto isn't just an insightful and deeply pragmatic inquiry into the legitimacy and effectiveness of contemporary representative democracy but also a handbook for citizens looking for a meaningful way to bring new energy and much needed relevance to the way we determine public policy. He puts skin on the bones of what it means to find the public good by arguing for a community-based transfer of policy making from political parties to deliberative councils representative of those most directly affected in the case at hand.' -- Hon Geoff Gallop, Premier of Western Australia 2001-2006 Author InformationJohn Burnheim was born in Sydney, where he still lives, in 1927.
