Abstract

Bringing this impressive collection to a close, the concluding chapter offers critical reflections on how the field of study has matured. The concept of democratic innovations may lack conceptual precision, but it is a term that continues to resonate with academics, activists, practitioners and policy makers. A defining characteristic of the study of democratic innovations is its growing methodological sophistication, although more sustained attention is needed to trace the various impacts and outcomes of forms of participatory governance. Increasing engagement across academic boundaries to fully embrace the investigation of emerging digital formations and modes of participation in the economic realm and social movements will strengthen our understanding of the potential of participatory democracy. The chapter ends with the provocative question of whether the almost hegemonic status of deliberative democracy is healthy for the analysis of democratic innovations.

关于民主创新理论与实践的思考
把这个令人印象深刻的集合结束,最后一章提供了研究领域如何成熟的批判性思考。民主创新的概念可能缺乏概念上的精确性,但它是一个不断引起学者、活动家、实践者和政策制定者共鸣的术语。民主创新研究的一个决定性特征是其方法日益成熟,尽管需要更持久地注意追踪参与式治理形式的各种影响和结果。增加跨学术界限的参与,充分接受对新兴数字形式和经济领域和社会运动参与模式的调查,将加强我们对参与式民主潜力的理解。本章最后提出了一个颇具争议的问题,即协商民主近乎霸权的地位对于民主创新的分析是否有益。
