Here is the new Japanese version of The Deliberative Democracy Handbook: Strategies for Effective Civic Engagement in the Twenty-First Century, edited by John Gastil and me. A cleaned-up version of the Google translation of the Japanese blurb would say:

Don’t leave it to the legislature alone! This is a practical handbook for a new form of democracy by direct participation of citizens. It describes a method of citizen participation in the political process, describing concrete case studies from other countries, mainly the United States of America. It is a useful single book for all those who are interested in civil juries, deliberative polls, town meetings, and other formats, summarizing both their strengths and weaknesses for local governments, educational institutions, and others.
