A policy jury or citizen jury is a body of people convened to render a decision or advice on a matter of public policy. It is similar to juries used in modern court trial except that the subject of its deliberation is a matter of public policy, rather than law. The concept of the policy jury is closely connected with deliberative democracy or participatory models of democratic governance. In some cases, policy juries are composed of randomly selected members of a given population. Citizens participating in a policy jury engage in a comprehensive learning and deliberation processes before settling on a conclusion or set of recommendations. Traditional models of governance tend to operate on a single axis of authority; up towards a strong central executive or down to a local council. A policy jury is an example of devolving responsibility for making policy recommendations outward to citizens and communities. Policy juries are increasingly popular in Canada. Citizens’ Assembles on Electoral Reform convened in British Columbia in 2004〔http://www.citizensassembly.bc.ca/public〕 and Ontario in 2006〔 http://www.citizensassembly.gov.on.ca/〕 used policy juries to address alternative electoral systems. Three of Ontario’s Local Health Integration Networks (LHIN) have referred their Integrated Health Service Plans (IHSP) for 2010-2013 to policy juries for advice and refinement. LHINs referring their IHSPs to policy juries include the South East LHIN,〔http://www.southeastlhin.on.ca/Page.aspx?id=2346〕 Central LHIN and Mississauga Halton LHIN. == See also == *Citizens' jury *Consensus decision-making *Democratic deficit *Direct democracy *Democracy *Local Health Integration Network *MASS LBP *Sortition 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Policy jury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
