Summary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

More and more people perceive the future no longer as a promise but as a threat. Some are overwhelmed by the complexity and speed of economic transformation and social changes. Others are scared because, in their view, these developments are not happening fast enough. The critical task of democracies is to allow for control over the future without closing it and to open up the future without making it uncontrollable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy children will be better off than myself one day.\u201d The strong belief in progress expressed in this statement has been holding liberal democracies together for the past decades. Today, more and more people perceive the future no longer as a promise but as a threat. They feel a sense of powerlessness in the face of climate change, cultural backlashes, and economic transformation. The Innocracy 2021 conference paper outlines where liberal democracies have lost the balance between openness and order and how this balance can be reinstalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Innocracy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Innocracy is a European civil-society conference<\/strong> based in Berlin. Since 2017, once a year, Innocracy explores innovations in democracies. From reflections on the status quo, via practical examples of change to painting tangible future visions, the conference seeks to improve liberal democracy from the inside out<\/strong>. Innocracy is known for its community character, innovative formats and future-oriented debates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, a digital version of Innocracy focused on future visions of more just democracies and their strategic value for societies in transformation. Under the title \u201cBringing the Future Back to Democracy<\/strong>\u201d, more than 30 partner organisations, 60 speakers and 1000 participants experienced three days of keynotes, toolbox classes, vision sprints and panel discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe, for the 2020s to become a decade of transformation<\/strong>, they have to become a decade of democratisation<\/strong>, too. At Innocracy 2021, we wanted to identify fields which are excluded or are being removed from democratic control and explore whether and how (re-)democratising them could lead to a better future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
