Have Citizens Assembly Worked a Succesfull Structure or Platform for Policy Making?

08 December 2023 1 9K Report

I am doing a policy assignment of 3000 words, due on Monday night on the policy reccomendations of the Irish Citizen's Assembly of Drugs Policy 2023. I would be grateful if anyone has conducted research on Citizen's Assemblies anywhere? Have the worked? Are they right for policymaking etc?

Christopher Oyoo Yaye
