Republican ideals could be advanced by studying real-world successful collective action

Evidence

Civic republicanism does not constitute a panacea to the dangers that await modern democracies; however, its preoccupation with norms, generating trust and institutional stability could go a long way towards reducing these risks. I set out to identify here new ways in which future republican experiments could realize their ideals. I argued that one way of doing that would be by starting from real-world examples in which collective action succeeds, and which were studied in the institutional analysis and development framework. A future research agenda could analyze the extent to which non-domination is promoted within already functioning polycentric systems. — Adelin-Costin Dumitru, Forging the Resistive Republic, 83
