Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

INNOCRACY- Conference on Democratic Innovation took place at betahaus Berlin on 28 November 2017. The ideas formed to transform democratic systems \u2013 either by incrementally improving them or radically changing paradigms \u2013 are presented in this Anthology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democratic systems need to be able to shape an increasingly complex world and respond to the socio-economic, cultural, technological, and ecological transformation processes societies are going through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both radical systemic transformation and incremental improvements are necessary to drive meaningful and constructive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the \u201eInnocracy \u2014 Conference on Democratic Innovation\u201c,<\/a><\/strong> Das Progressive Zentrum\u2019s Democracy Lab brought together 120 participants and 26 speakers from 12 countries, offering a stage to noteworthy ideas to exchange paradigms, rewrite ground rules for democracy, and improve existing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Anthology on Democratic Innovation <\/strong>presents a selection of the processes and ideas discussed during the Conference. You can download the PDF brochure below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CDU\/CSU and SPD parties have reached an agreement in the exploratory talks at a remarkable speed to create a special fund for infrastructure and to provide a far-reaching opportunity to increase defense spending beyond the limits of the debt brake. How should these proposals be assessed? What needs to be considered for the sustainable success of this modernization agenda?
