Abstract

In 2015, the City Council in Gentofte, Denmark, decided to change the way it develops policies in order to make them more effective, innovative, and legitimate. To that end, the politicians decided to introduce the so-called Political Task Committees where politicians and citizens engage in a joint effort to formulate new political programs and strategies. A longitudinal case study indicates that the committees hold the potential to advance a particular kind of collective political intelligence that could turn out to be an important building block in and guideline for overcoming some of the current challenges for representative democracy.
