How do social media platforms influence democracy? Karoline Helbig explores how the logics and architectures of these platforms structure communication processes. She begins by collecting and systematising central theoretical concepts from the deliberative systems approach, focussing specifically on those pertaining to the structures of and normative standards associated with deliberative systems. Based on these theoretical foundations and drawing on digitisation research, she then situates social media platforms within society-wide deliberative systems. She offers a nuanced analysis of the specific characteristics of digital communication and of how they affect the qualities of deliberation throughout the system. This study speaks to scholars, policymakers and readers concerned with democracy in the digital constellation.
Karoline Helbig is a researcher working at the intersection of digital technology, democratic theory and sociology. She earned her doctorate in 2024 from Leibniz Universität Hannover, where her research examined the influence of digital architectures on political communication and democracy. With an academic background in sociology, democratic theory and mathematics, she has contributed to several interdisciplinary research initiatives on the effects of digitisation on democratic processes, including work at Harvard Kennedy School's Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights as a Technology and Human Rights Fellow and within research groups at the Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB) and the Weizenbaum Institute.
