Innovation: The European Journal of Social Science Research invites researchers to

submit their papers for the special issue Citizens Assemblies in times of crisis.

Citizens‘ assemblies and other sortition-based participation methods are trending

around the world. As a means to involve citizens directly in political decision-making, the
method of citizens’ assemblies has been applied in a broad variety of thematic fields,
political settings, and geographical contexts. But can citizens’ assemblies also contribute
to problem-solving in the event of a crisis?

The method became well-known in particular through two examples in Ireland, where
citizens‘ councils were used in a situation of political stagnation: The parliament could
not find a majority solution to reform abortion law or answer the question of same-sex
marriage. With the help of citizens assemblies recommendations to solve the question at
stake were developed and published. Based on these recommendations, referendums
were held with a majority of the Irish population following the suggestions of the
citizens’ assembly.

The character of crises can be extremely diverse. What crises have in common is that
they put a system under shock and demand a strong political response and a substantial
change, which often affects social life. Looking at some recent examples, we would like to
discuss: Can citizens assemblies help to find political answers to crises and facilitate
social change?
