1. Introduction -- 2. Democratic Innovations -- 3. Reforms and Political Participation -- 4. Democratic innovations in three countries- 5. Program Local Agenda 21 and Healthy Cities of the Czech Republic association: Testing the causality between HCCZ membership and implementation of selected democratic innovation (GIS) -- 6. Political and economic characteristics of municipalities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia: Role of municipal dynamics and support resources in implementation of democratic innovations -- 7. Innovative and Interactive Political Communication at the Local Level? Experience from the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia -- 8. Participatory budgeting in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland -- 9. Participatory Budgets in the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia: Experience from Three Towns. 10. Conclusion.

The book aims to complement the existing research on democratic innovations mainly by making unique comparative analyses of the democratic innovations at the local level in selected European post-communist countries, i.e. the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia. Democratic innovations can help overcome political apathy, decreased confidence in democracy and improve efficiency of governance. We traditionally consider cities and municipalities to be cradles of democracy and connect them with deliberations on the further development of democratic theory and political practice. We therefore argue that the local level is a suitable arena and laboratory for both changes of institutional settings within the traditional model of representative democracy, and the structural changes, which concern changing relations between local representatives and citizens.
