我们不需要更多的“民主模式”，但我们确实需要一种新的民主理论观点，以充分利用近年来的审议、生态、世界主义和其他创新。这类方法可以从它们所使用的手段来理解--例如，审议论坛和跨境全民投票，以及更熟悉的选举和立法机构。手段制定民主原则;事实上，有人认为，原则通过制定获得其意义和力量。设备也可以以不同的方式重新排序;民主主义者可以构建序列，以特定的方式实现民主。坚持这一论点需要采取一种反思性和程序性的观点，这种观点认为民主是对环境敏感、开放、富有成效和适应性强的。
We do not need more ‘models of democracy’, but we do need a fresh view of democratic theory to take full advantage of deliberative, ecological, cosmopolitan and other innovations of recent years. Approaches such as these can be understood in terms of the devices they deploy – deliberative forums and cross-border referendums, for example, as well as more familiar elections and legislatures. Devices enact democratic principles; indeed, it is argued that principles gain their meaning and force through enactment. Devices can also be reordered in different ways; democrats can construct sequences which enact democracy in particular, desired ways. Pursuing this argument involves adopting a reflexive and procedural perspective, which puts a premium on democracy as sensitive to context, open-ended, productive and adaptable.
