Summary:

Policymakers around the world often aim to learn from ordinary people through participatory institutions like consultations, petitions, complaint mechanisms, townhalls, constituent communications, crowdsourcing platforms, participatory budgeting, and citizen assemblies. But when faced with large volumes of complex information inputs, they can struggle with information overload challenges that leave them unable to learn meaningful and actionable information outputs. This book develops and illustrates a new framework for understanding the different types of information that policymakers can learn from ordinary people, the complexity of that information, and the different ways in which it can be processed into meaningful policy knowledge
