Abstract

The recent systems turn in democratic theory is increasingly affecting how democratic innovations are conceived of, practiced and analysed. Still, there remain many important questions for applying a systems approach to democratic innovations. This panel addresses a number of those questions. The papers discuss: the conceptual foundations for thinking systemically about democratic governance and democratic interventions; how the products of democratic institutions are transmitted or transformed through interaction; how a systems approach can guide the empirical evaluation of democratic innovations.
