Kommunalwahl in der Türkei, Bürgermeisterwahl nach Provinzen: Wenn sich dieser Zwischenstand bestätigt, wäre es ein HISTORISCHES Ergebnis. Eine solche Karte hat die Türkei seit 2002 nicht gesehen. Nicht nur Ankara und Istanbul, die Dominanz der AKP in Anatolien wäre gebrochen.

My book 'Democracy Without Politics in EU Citizen Participation: From European Demoi to Decolonial Multitude' is out with @Palgrave! It is hopefully a timely contribution to scholar and political debates on ‘citizen participation’ and decolonisation. Here: link.springer.com/book/10.10…

If we could choose an ideal room layout for a citizens' assembly, it would look a lot like this. In the #CLIMAS Horizon project, we are exploring how AI images can be used to better communicate some concepts. Illustration prompted by Deliberativa.

A very interesting #study that enriches the current debate on EU #integration by @con_schaefer, Oliver Treib and @BSchlipphak. It adds important nuances to the complex debate on institutional #reform and reform trajectories preferred by 🇪🇺 #citizens.
🔔Publication Alert🚨
In this @jepp_journal article, we ask 'What kind of EU do citizens want?' and employ conjoint experiments.
It's co-authored work with my brilliant @reconnectEU @IfPol_WWU colleagues O.Treib & @BSchlipphak and open access: doi.org/10.1080/13501763.202…

Did you check the last publication from @DemTech_org? It is the first report on Democracy Technologies in Europe, regarding online participation, deliberation, and voting. 🗳️🗣️
As many others, we participated in the study, essentially based on interviews with practitioners in governments, experts, and company representatives across Europe. It suggests the development of Europe-wide quality standards for security and processes, as new forms of participatory and deliberative democracy are widely applied in many European countries. 🌍🏙️

Heute hat der @bundestag den ersten eigenen #Bürgerrat mehrheitlich beschlossen. Nun werden 160 Menschen in Deutschland per Los ausgewählt und Empfehlungen zum Thema Ernährung erarbeiten. Ist Ernährung reine Privatsache, oder auch Angelegenheit des Staates?t1p.de/lj8l1

The last session of the @EU_Commission Citizens Panel on #Foodwaste is underway. Together with our partners @delibera_tiva @MPubliques_EN @DBT_Foundation, our colleagues @JBirkenhaeger @con_schaefer @SteinbRi1 @JenRueBelle push the limits of multilingual deliberation in Europe!
The last session of the @EU_Commission Citizens’ Panel on #FoodwasteEU has just began and the room is full with determined citizens. After receiving expert input on their first ideas, it is time to finalize their political recommendations on how to reduce food waste in Europe!

In C. 4, Oliver Treib, @con_schaefer & @BSchlipphak analyse AfD discourse & the German party system responses. They conduct a systematic content analysis, reveal AfD's antipluralist rhetoric (e.g. fundamental rights), & describe the strategy of isolation deployed by other parties
