From 9 to 11 March, the Political Culture and Active Citizenship Conference took place at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal: For seven years, Dr Klaus Hofmann has been researching legal instruments of direct democracy worldwide for the Navigator for Direct Democracy. Throughout his research, he found that many countries actually have mechanisms in place that allow citizens to participate in decision-making. However, the way in which these instruments were used differed immensely from one country to another. In order to examine how these differences arise, he invited scholars from seven countries to explain what the obstacles and incentives are for citizens to participate in policy-making in their countries.
The Political Culture and Active Citizenship Conference was made possible with the support of the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung.
