Contributions on issues of representation in citizens' juries and similar participatory approaches

This article presents a number of contributions from an e-forum debate on issues of representation in citizen juries and similar participatory approaches in Deliberative and Inclusionary Processes which grew out of a citizen jury and scenario workshop in southern India. It is based around the questions:| How can we ensure that citizen juries are representative of the wider populations from which they are drawn?| How can we extrapolate lessons from specific citizen jury deliberations on key issues to wider policy debates?| How can we use citizen jury-type procedures to ensure that the voices of poor people are represented in policy decisions that impinge on their lives?
