The long-term consequences of democratic innovations

Abstract

There is a vast literature which has focused on what happens "inside" democratic innovations, analyzing for instance process characteristics or how participants behave. However, democratic innovations can also have long-term consequences on citizens' preferences and values or on the wider political system. These long-term consequences should be analysed by analyzing the existing institutional structure, which affects the potential long-term consequences of DIs. This panel investigates the long-term consequences of democratic innovations on various topics such as federalism, procedural fairness, deliberation or polarization
