One of the links is to an interesting interview with Urbinati and Manin: Is representative democracy really democratic?, which provides much material for me to disagree with.

Although omitting the question of sortition, the newly translated Republic and Social Democracy in France presents, I think, the most complete view of “democracy” for the working class for its time until sortition became/becomes more popular.
