And here is the starter pack for another more niche research interest at the intersection between Political Philosophy and Democratic Innovations. Please tell me if I missed anyone go.bsky.app/2rJ9y16
The rise and decline of participatory budgeting in Brazil. Why it happened? It may have been due to excessive institutionalization (bureaucratization), decreasing citizens' participation, and a lack of partisan support. #DemocraticInnovations
Central to the #democratic value of #minipublics is public engagement. Yet, how to generate this engagement in practice remains underexplored.
🔔ICYMI: The latest from @scastell.bsky.social & Stephen Elstub
www.publicdeliberation.net/mini-publics...
At the Digital Democracy Centre, we've just created this cool new starter pack featuring research institutions, researchers, NGOs, journals, and think tanks focused on how digital technologies and AI impact media, politics, and democracy.
We'll be updating the list continuously!
💙 Thanks. Nice to be here
