In recent years, innovations in governance have created a plethora of new democratic spaces in many countries. Yet there remains a gap between the intention to institutionalize participation and the reality of exclusion of poorer and marginalized citizens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough case studies of a diversity of institutions - hospital facility boards in South Africa, a national-level deliberative process in Canada, sectoral management councils and community groups in Brazil, India, Mexico and Bangladesh, participatory budgeting in Argentina, NGO-created forums in Angola and Bangladesh, community forums in the UK, and new intermediary spaces created by social movements in South Africa - contributors examine how the democratic potential of these new spaces might be enhanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrea Cornwall is a Fellow of the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex.
