Parliamentary oversight under the Covid-19 emergency: striving against executive dominance

Elena Griglio · 3 May 2020

Yet, there is also a risk of misusing the emergency for power grabbing, especially in the current era of executive aggrandizement, democratic decay and abusive populist constitutionalism. In this setting the…

The value of crowdsourcing in public policymaking: epistemic, democratic and economic value

Tanja Aitamurto, Kaiping Chen · 2 Jan 2017

While national and local governments increasingly deploy crowdsourcing in lawmaking as an open government practice, it remains unclear how crowdsourcing creates value when it is applied in policymaking. Therefore, in this article, we examine value creation in crowdsourcing for public policymaking. We introduce a framework for analysing value creation in public policymaking in the following…
