What elements of legislation make citizens use direct democracy tools or abandon them? This is the question we aim to look into during the webinar “Navigating democracy legislations: why rules of the game matter”. Taiwan is the perfect place to gain valuable insights as, following the Sunflower social movement in 2017, the country changed the provisions ruling citizen initiative to make it more accessible. As a result, many initiatives could be launched and debated. 

Be part of the conversation as we delve into the political landscape of Taiwan, explore the evolution of direct democracy instruments, and find out what makes these tools more appealing to citizens.
