Interdependent and Bogged Down: The Risks to Democracy from ambitious policymaking

Press/Media

Democracy depends on the relevant actors' ability to compromise, i.e. on their enlightened self-interest in cooperation and bargaining. For decades democratic politics have been accompanied by background music: chiefly, the lament that it is hardly possible to implement »ambitious« policies within the existing structures of federal, parliamentary democracy.
