Representation and Deliberative Innovation <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Representative democracies across established democracies are increasingly marked by signs of erosion: declining trust in institutions, weakening accountability mechanisms, and the spread of disinformation that undermines informed public deliberation. The project investigates these dynamics by identifying and analysing three distinct vulnerabilities underlying this erosion \u2014 epistemic, related to the public&#8217;s capacity to access and process reliable information; accountability-related, concerning the mechanisms through which power-holders can be held responsible; and constitutional, involving the erosion of institutional checks that safeguard democratic processes. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A central aim of the project is to clarify the relationship between representative and deliberative democracy. Rather than treating deliberative innovations \u2014 such as citizens&#8217; assemblies and other participatory mechanisms \u2014 as alternatives to representative institutions, the project examines how they can complement and strengthen representative government and public agencies advancing the three core values of democratic governance: effectiveness, legitimacy, and social justice. The project&#8217;s diagnostic focus is thus paired with a constructive ambition: to clarify under what conditions deliberative democracy can meaningfully address the vulnerabilities of representative institutions, without displacing or substituting for them.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research ProjectDemocracy Against Itself?
