Notes
There are of course exceptions to this claim, especially in the area of participatory governance, as I discuss below.
I served as Chair of the Task Force and lead author of the report; the Task Force was convened by Carole Pateman as APSA President.
To meet the space constraints of publishing in a single issue of the journal, the authors have generously—and boldly—revised and pared down their papers. Readers interested in learning more about empirical cases should consult the Task Force's web site.
This work is in the spirit of the Real Utopias project (http://www.ssc.wisc.edu/~wright/RealUtopias.htm), though we focus on existing innovations that work.
This section draws heavily on the Executive Summary, Introduction, and Conclusion of APSA (American Political Science Association), “Democratic Imperatives: Innovations in Rights, Participation, and Economic Citizenship,” in Report of the Task Force on Democracy, Economic Security, and Social Justice in a Volatile World (Washington, DC: APSA, 2012).
