Abstract

Although democratic innovations are currently en vogue, we know very little about the effects of these innovations on the quality of democracy. Democratic innovation studies often intend to investigate benefits and negative effects of participatory procedures for the quality of democracy, but they seldom use quality-of-democracy-indices. This panel is a follow-up of a panel in Bordeaux on quality of democracy measurements.
