      abstract = {This book argues that most public affairs can be openly  discussed before consensus is reached, and people from  different backgrounds should be encouraged to get involved  in policy-making on an equal basis. This is considered  multiple deliberative democracy. The book features in-depth  discussions on why multiple deliberative democracy is  needed in China, what specific procedures it entails, and  how it is conducted in local communities across the  country. In addition, it probes into the areas of public  administration where multiple deliberative democracy can be  employed to enhance informed decision-making on public  affairs, such as community self-governance matters, matters  to be voted on by the National People's Congress,  collecting CPPCC motions, social organization (or  corporation) consultation, vital planning schemes of the  society, and citizen education. Furthermore, the monograph  explores the pluralism in deliberative democracy, such as  mass symposium, citizen (villager) BBS, community Internet  BBS, discussions in open areas of the community, vision  workshops, and citizen jury. It is concluded that thorough  deliberation among citizens may profoundly impact the  governments informed-decision-making. The book exposes the  readers to the democratic system of modern China and sheds  lights on its contextualized, unique multiple deliberative  democracy procedures and practices. University students,  researchers, and practitioner in the fields of political  science, public administration, and international  relations, among others, may find this book informative and  intriguing.},
