Summary
This chapter presents four widely debated challenges to the current forms of liberal democracy in order to envision how co-creation may provide an adequate response to underlying democratic problems and thus help to reinvigorate and expand democratic governance. The chapter also revisits the accountability problem that arises in relation to public governance based on co-creation and reflects on how new forms of democracy advanced by co-creation practices can be integrated with representative democracy to form a new hybrid democracy. Finally, it discusses how co-creation can secure and perhaps even democratize the future development of democracy.
