SUMMARY:Conceptualizing the Future of Democracy: Combining Representation a
 nd Participatory Innovations
DESCRIPTION:In the light of declining voter-turnout\, party membership and 
 trust in representative institutions\, the democratic institutions develop
 ed in the 19th and 20th centuries\, seem to be somewhat out of touch with 
 the popular demands in current societies. This leads some authors to diagn
 ose a crisis of democracy\, or even the “death of democracy” (Keane 20
 09). At the same time\, citizens strongly support the concept of democracy
 . Thus\, rather than democracy itself being obsolete\, we seem to witness 
 a “process of transition from one type to another“ (Schmitter 2015). Y
 et\, how should the future of democracy look like?\nThe debate on how to c
 onceptualize hybrid systems of representative and participatory institutio
 ns is ongoing. Systemic approaches to designing mixed systems are scarce (
 Warren 2017)\, but en vogue. In the roundtable\, we will follow this appro
 ach and discuss the future of democracy as innovative conceptions of purpo
 seful combinations of representative and participatory institutions fulfil
 ling democratic tasks and being in line with citizens preferences for part
 icipation.\n\nParticipants:\nRainer Forst (Goethe-Universität Frankfurt\,
  Exzellenzcluster "Die Herausbildung normativer Ordnungen")\nJane Mansbrid

 nd Political Science\, UK)\nMark Warren (University of British Columbia\,
