Summary
The article contends that contemporary democracies cannot be understood through linear or reductionist models. In highly differentiated and uncertain societies, traditional control fails. Critiquing market and evolutionary self-regulation, it proposes a theory of complex democracy grounded in complexity science, emphasizing emergence, non-linearity, distributed intelligence, and learning-oriented governance to manage uncertainty while preserving legitimacy and accountability.
