Вестник Томского государственного университета. Философия. Социология. Политология № 40. С. 206-221Abstract: Policy networks are believed to be one of the most suitable modern solutions to revitalize democracy, especially at the local level. Though, some scholars warn against their lack of democratic legitimacy and accountability. We share this position and question the networks commonly believed efficiency. We support our thesis with an analysis of several recent local infrastructure projects involving networks. The paper also explores some alternatives to policy networks. New forms of direct democracy, drawing inspiration from game theory and behavioral economy seem the most promising.
