Long-term governance in democratic systems is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires an in-depth analysis. This book explores the challenges and possibilities of long-term governance in democratic systems, offering an in-depth analysis of the problem of short-termism in representative democracy. It provides an overview of different aspects of future-regarding governance, including the role of institutions, policymaking processes, and public participation.
The book also includes a systematic examination of different designs for future-regarding institutions and their role in broader democratic systems. It includes in-depth case studies of Finland, which has one of the most advanced governmental foresight systems in the world. The contributors to the book identify tensions between the present and the future, as well as between reversibility and commitment, independence and politicisation, and trust and critique, which have to be navigated in order to achieve long-term, collective goals.
The book concludes that elite-driven institutions should be complemented by robust institutions for public participation and deliberation in order to retain responsiveness while at the same time forging public commitments for future-regarding action. This interdisciplinary and globally oriented book provides valuable insights into the challenges and possibilities of long-term governance in democratic systems and offers a roadmap for designing institutions that can promote sustainable development and social well-being.
