This dilemma has given rise in some places to a new, deliberative democracy, and this volume explores four contemporary empirical cases in which the principles of such a democracy have been at least partially instituted: the participatory budget in Porto Alegre; the school decentralization councils and community policing councils in Chicago; stakeholder councils in environmental protection and habitat management; and new decentralised governance structures in Kerala. In keeping with the other Real Utopias Project volumes, these case studies are framed by an editors’ introduction, a set of commentaries, and concluding notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArchon Fung\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eErik Olin Wright\u003c\/b\u003e is Vilas Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin.
