Decision-making and sources of law

In contemporary democracies, traditional decision-making, based on representative instruments is facing a structural crisis and new forms are emerging. While the phenomenon is well known, there is no systemic analysis so far neither about the changes in the processes (including participatory and deliberative democracy) no about the outcomes of such processes (different types of new sources, forms of soft lwa and their binding character).
