In this episode of Democracy: Differently, host Keith Hyams talks with Professor André Bächtiger about what democracy could look like if we started from scratch, on Mars. What would citizens design? What do those ideas teach us about democracy here on Earth?

André Bächtiger is a political scientist and Professor at the University of Stuttgart, specializing in deliberative democracy, political communication, and the empirical study of democratic processes. He has been working on an innovative research project where people imagine a democracy on “Mars” as a blank slate to surface fresh ideas for reforming democracy here.
