Restarting Democracy via a Democracy App

How can democracy remain fit for the future in the digital age?

In Restarting Democracy via a Democracy App, Dominik Mikulaschek presents a visionary yet practical perspective on how democratic processes can be reimagined and modernly organized—from the municipal level all the way to global decision-making structures.

Our era is shaped by global crises, rapid digital interconnectedness, and increasingly complex political decision-making processes. At the same time, many people are calling for greater participation, transparency, and meaningful democratic involvement. This is exactly where this book begins.

At the heart of the book is the idea of a democracy app as a new democratic infrastructure: a concept that combines technological possibilities with the foundations of the rule of law, legitimacy, responsibility, and social fairness. The book explores how political participation and collective decision-making capacity can be further developed in the 21st century without losing sight of democracy’s core principles.

This book is for anyone interested in democracy, political innovation, digital transformation, political participation, and the future of public decision-making processes—whether engaged citizens, political decision-makers, researchers, or forward thinkers.

An inspiring impulse for everyone who wants to rethink democracy.
