Structurally remaking our Democracy -> towards Deep Democracy
What kind of decision architectures and organisations would help us to navigate a world that has always consisted of complex systems, composed of many components interacting with each other and creating emergent properties and behaviors? Accepting that we live in a complex emergent world makes uncertainty and learning the hallmark of our futures as opposed to predictability and control.
Therefore, it is likely that learning institutions are better able to cope with an era of persistent emergencies and remain relevant. They could establish a new way of acting that is transformative and supports a socio-ecological transformation of all public systems.
Institutions as "integrated systems of rules that structure social interactions" could become learning institutions if they would systematically facilitate a learning cycle between the consequences of social interactions and the adaptation of the rules that structure them.
We, the public, have to demand a public management shift - from military control models to organizational learning approaches.
The transformation of democracy itself will become a question of global peace and collective survival. It is not just a matter of overcoming challenges, crises but also of being able to organize our democratic processes (politics), institutions (polity) and guidelines (policies) in a co-creative manner.
