DESCRIPTION:Anti-democratic movements are surging around the world\, threat
 ening to undermine elections and replace them with oligarchy. While pro-de
 mocracy movements focus on defending elections\, most people think that el
 ections alone are inadequate. How can we renew democracy and move beyond i
 ts current limitations?\n\n \n\nTo explore a new vision for democratic inn
 ovation\, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Ithaca Initiative at the U
 niversity of Delaware’s Joseph R. Biden\, Jr. School of Public Policy an
 d Administration invites you to join the launch of its first Research Scho
 lars white paper\, by People Powered Co-Executive Director Josh Lerner - F
 rom Waves to Ecosystems: The Next Stage of Democratic Innovation. \n\n \n\
 nFor over 5\,000 years\, we have built up competing waves of electoral\, d
 irect\, deliberative\, and participatory democracy. We are now seeing a tr
 ansition\, however\, from waves to ecosystems. While in the past\, we have
  built up competing waves of democracy\, the next stage of democratic inno
 vation connects different practices into balanced ecosystems.\n\n \n\nJoin
  the author and a team of global democracy experts to discuss the roadmap 
 for this next stage of innovation\, including key challenges and strategie
 s for building healthy ecosystems of democracy.
