This chapter begins with a brief summary of two sets of democratic challenge facing Europe—the original ‘democratic deficit’ of the EU and the more recent growth of populist illiberalism—which have in common the erosion of trust in conventional political institutions and processes. It considers these democratic challenges alongside another contemporary phenomenon, namely the growth of interest in alternative forms of citizen participation, whether deliberative, popular, digital, or other, in various parts of the world. The chapter moves on to examine in more detail a recent experiment with deliberative citizen participation in one EU Member State, namely Ireland’s use of citizens’ assemblies to introduce constitutional and public policy change, and asks whether Ireland’s experience could offer any possible lessons to address some aspects of the EU’s democratic ills.

This teaching of Jesus seems so compelling, the question of why Jews persist in observing the rules of kosher eating is more than a curiosity. It explains more than anything else the deep-rooted Christian sense of religious superiority (and barely concealed contempt) vis-à-vis Judaism, which is considered as obsessed with meaningless and primitive rituals compared to Christianity concerned with ethics and the heart. At a deeper level it defines the ontological difference between Christianity and Judaism. So why do Jews observe Kosher?
