Abstract: |
The objective of the present database is to provide an exhaustive as possible list of direct and deliberative democratic innovations worldwide, of their core contextual and institutional features and, most importantly, of the population size of the political entity in which they have been implemented. Studying the impact of political entities’ population size on the functioning of democratic innovations is the main interest of the ‘Democratic Innovations and Scale’ research project that this database is part of. To establish the database, I drew on the most exhaustive existing databases on direct as well as on deliberative democratic innovations to date (as cited in the method, acknowledgements and citation section of the sheet). After merging databases and eliminating duplicates, I filtered the cases that were in line with the selection criteria of my own research (see criteria specified in the method, acknowledgements and citation section of the sheet). Excluded cases are documented in a separate sheet. For the final list of retained cases, the population size of the political entity in which they were conducted was collected based on World Bank, Database Earth or national census data.<br> <br> Latest version: 1.0 [06.11.2024]. |
