Demokratie im digitalen Zeitalter

This book contains input to the ongoing debate of the effects of the digital world on our political and legal reality. In the beginning, it conveys important basic knowledge about the constitution’s democracy principle. The following passages about elections and votes, delegates as well as parliament are referring to sample cases for purposes of illustration. Therefore, this book not only addresses legal scientists but also people interested in constitutional law.
The authors examine the legal relevance of the changes brought on by the Digital Age and give thought-provoking impulses on how to deal with them. After all, those new manifestations of a digitalised democracy are only to be perceived as complimentary to the reliable representative-democratic system.
