DemocracyNext participated in a conference in Cambridge at Harvard Law School on 2-3 October.

DemocracyNext is an international research & action institute focused on broadening who has power and enhancing how we make decisions together. We work to scale three powerful democratic practices – sortition (randomly selecting decision-makers), deliberation (structured spaces where people learn together and make informed decisions), and rotation (taking turns representing others and being represented). These ancient practices offer practical solutions to modern democratic challenges, enabling people to be with complexity, exercise collective intelligence, and find common ground. We provide leaders who want to reinvigorate democracy with cutting-edge networks, rigorous research, and practical advice to learn about, establish, and institutionalise these democratic innovations.
