AB - According to Bernard Manin, Greek Athens’ citizens considered ‘the equal possibility’ and ‘the resemblance’ between rulers and citizens, which had critical roles in democracy. In this idea, they adapted ‘the kleros’ as a method of selecting their representatives. However, under representative democracy emphasizing the superiority of the representatives who are selected by the election system, the frontier between the representatives and the citizens has been naturally set up, and has been strengthen continuously. This separation has been regarded as a structural cause of various public conflicts between the government and the citizens, and as an escalator of the conflicts to be more serious one. These situations can be easily found in determining national or regional polices especially relevant to the interests of the public. Through this article, I insist that these kinds of conflicts should be resolved by the complementation of participative, associative, deliberative elements to the representative systems. As an example, if anticipated social disputes in a specific regional development plan, ‘consensus conference’, or ‘citizen jury’ under local government or local assembly can be legally institutionalized to mitigate the conflicts. The Civil Jury case in Ulsan has been asserted as the first, successful deliberative citizens’ participation model in Korea. Although the jury could quickly put an end to the chronic conflict, which is the major reason to be regarded as a successful one in many analyses, the jury had some deficiencies to be an exemplary of the deliberative citizens’ model,due to the failures in introducing timing, in assembling members, in dealing information, and in restoring trusts.
