Democratic Innovations and Experiments

Abstract

This panel highlights new forms of citizen participation, deliberative assemblies, and digital democratic experiments, but asks more pointedly: Which innovation addresses exactly which problem? How to deal with other problems? Who is adopting these innovations, for what purposes, and with what effects? It aims to link theory and practice, drawing on examples of democratic innovation worldwide.
