520			_aThe high distrust in political institutions and a growing sense of powerlessness among many citizens suggest that prevailing democratic governance systems lack a capability for collective dialogue and learning. The key thesis here is that public governance systems can benefit from organizational arrangements informed by circular design. A case study conducted at a Dutch municipality illustrates how principles of circular design served to enhance the city council�s role of orchestrator of civil participation. This case also illustrates how a local democracy, which has long suffered from majority�minority ploys and voting schemes, can be transformed into a consent-based culture of collaboration. - Reproduced.
