The Democratic Innovations
Democratic innovations are new methods and tools designed to improve citizen participation and decision-making in government. They include practices like referendums, citizen assemblies, participatory budgeting, and online platforms that allow people to have a direct say in policies. These innovations aim to increase transparency, enhance civic engagement, and distribute power more broadly, helping democracy better reflect the will and needs of the population. By involving citizens more directly, they can strengthen trust in institutions and create more inclusive, effective governance.
