  My research in political theory deals with conceptualisations of democratic legitimacy. I particularly focus on deliberative democracy and consider the role of society-wide argumentative exchanges for democratic quality. These theoretical enquiries are complemented by empirical studies that measure political systems' deliberative quality and assess the impacts and contributions of deliberation in democratic policy-making.
  Theoretical and empirical research should complement each other and normative theorising must do justice to ever changing societal contexts. Determining the precise relationship of theoretical and empirical findings poses serious challenges. I am applying philosophy of science-concepts to address these challenges.
  Book (in prep.): Democratic Proceduralism and Its Limits - From Philosophical Principles to Political Institutions
  In recent years, Western democracies’ legitimacy has been heavily under attack. On the one hand, declining public support and rising citizen distrust or apathy vis-à-vis representative democratic institutions point towards peoples’ estrangement from political elites. In consequence, many scholars demand to strengthen peoples’ voice and to implement more means for bottom-up participation. At the same time, increasing political complexity is associated with the rise populist and post-truth politics. These developments inspired scholars to propose “expertocratic” models of democratic governance and to strengthen the role of experts in political decision-making.
  The book outlines a 'genuinely democratic' alternative to such expertocratic reform proposals that builds on proceduralist political philosophy. Proceduralist political philosophers argue that democratic legitimacy results not from expertise or from the quality of political outcomes, but solely from including all affected citizens in democratic decision-making. So far, there is no comprehensive account of proceduralist democracy that combines and integrates political philosophy and institutional design perspectives. The book bridges the gap between political philosophy and institutional design-questions and provides an accessible discussion of proceduralism from the perspective of political philosophy, theory, and political science.
