A more democratic Europe starts in cities! As in many other areas, cities are frontrunners in democratic innovation and citizens’ participation. Their examples should inspire institutions at the national and European levels.

Democracies should innovate more. Citizens are exploring alternatives to liberal democracy because they feel the current systems do not represent them. By opting for protest votes and sweeping "this-will-solve-all-your-pains" proposals, citizens try to regain what democracy is not offering them - agency over their future. You might think it's a problem of ideas, but think again. There are plenty of new decisionmaking mechanisms, innovative ways of participation and ideas to build additional democratic institutions. The problem is that they are scattered and don't always reach the right people. Ultimately, democracy does not change because policymakers and elected representatives tend to avoid more checks and balances or increased accountability. It will take much convincing. This is why Democracy Reporting International and a set of European organisations in the democratic space are building Nets4Dem, a coalition of organisations that want to compile existing knowledge and resources on democratic innovation and participation, build capacities, and convince our decisionmakers that democracy (every now and then) needs a shake-up. 📥 Learn more and register for our newsletter: https://bit.ly/Nets4Dem Follow our accounts and our committed DRI team working on the project: Mariam Humayun, Rieke Wönig, Paul Zoubkov, Dennis Wenzl.
