When we think of democratic innovation, we usually picture citizens voting. But Annalisa Quaglia and Federico De Marco argue that a quiet transformation is underway elsewhere. Faced with the decline of remote areas, local public administrations are becoming the new collaborative arenas for democratic legitimacy – though not without significant challenges
PhD candidate in Sociology, University of Salamanca
Annalisa's current research explores the digital divide, political polarisation, post-truth dynamics, and the role of social networks and disinformation in the contemporary crisis of democracy.
She is also a public official working for a Regional Administration in Italy, where she is involved in the design and implementation of territorial and sustainability policies.
Her research interests focus on democratic innovation, collaborative governance, and sustainable local development.
