Policy accumulation and the democratic responsiveness trap
The responsiveness to societal demands is both the key virtue and the key problem of modern democracies. On the one hand, responsiveness is a central cornerstone of democratic legitimacy. On the other hand, responsiveness inevitably entails policy accumulation. While policy accumulation often positively reflects modernisation and human progress, it also undermines democratic government in three main ways. First, policy accumulation renders policy content increasingly complex, which crowds out policy substance from public debates and leads to an increasingly unhealthy discursive prioritisation of politics over policy. Secondly, policy accumulation comes with aggravating implementation deficits, as it produces administrative backlogs and incentivises selective implementation. Finally, policy accumulation undermines the pursuit of evidence-based public policy, because it threatens our ability to evaluate the increasingly complex interactions within growing policy mixes. The authors argue that the stability of democratic systems will crucially depend on their ability to make policy accumulation more sustainable.

Teaching as if Learning Matters
Teaching is an essential skill in becoming a faculty member in
any institution of higher education. Yet how is that skill actually
acquired by graduate students? Teaching as if Learning
Matters collects first-person narratives from graduate
students and new PhDs that explore how the skills required to teach
at a college level are developed. It examines the key issues that
graduate students face as they learn to teach effectively when in
fact they are still learning and being taught. Featuring
contributions from over thirty graduate students from a variety of
disciplines at Indiana University, Teaching as if Learning
Matters allows these students to explore this topic from their
own unique perspectives. They reflect on the importance of teaching
to them personally and professionally, telling of both successes
and struggles as they learn and embrace teaching for the first time
in higher education.
