Parliaments in the Digital Age – Building Blocks for a Theoretical Framework
摘要
The last years have seen a surge of debates and research on the impact of digitalisation on democracy and state institutions. Interestingly, neither strand of debate has discussed the transformation of parliaments and parliamentary democracy in a digital world. In this paper, we will argue that we need a theory of parliament for the digital age and that discussions of societal and democratic transformations cannot be conducted without reference to specific institutions.
