Some of these questions are: Is it possible to redesign the relationship between state and society that allows public participation in decision quality of collective decisions? Is it possible to exercise the democratic ideal of self-government? Is it possible to redesign the conventional representative spaces to the influence of citizenship? Are policy decisions may be the result of a process of public argument and reasoning among free and equal citizens? This paper outlines the institutional design must face the challenge of responding to such challenges convincingly. Specifically discussed and problematized the relationship between public space and designs representative of liberal democracy from a Habermasian perspective.
