In this article, we consider the problem of democracy in risk society through examining some concrete methods of citizen participation that is developing in recent years. Along with `New public management', which is being actively introduced in administrative reform movement, and `Citizen workshop', which is based on participate democracy, there are some researches and experiments on ` Deliberative opinion poll' and `Citizens' juries/ Planungszelle', which are inspired by the theory of deliberative democracy. Now, it is a crucial question to involve citizens in the decision making process, because of the decline of trust in the established political and administrative systems. But the structure of `a divergence of risk between danger', which is a source of the contemporary social conflict, suggest the limit of these methods and could raise the new problems.
