Abstract

This study will examine the constraints and prospects for using crowd law to promote post-pandemic participatory democracy. Digital platforms have made it possible to involve many people more effectively and efficiently in decision-making processes, or even influence law-making to make it more representative and meaningful. In an open government era, the crowdsourcing approach expands public participation in governance. Crowdsourcing platforms make it possible for anyone to participate online in gathering information and ideas for wider public solutions. This is an effort to address more complex issues in a variety of fields, including advancing the creation of transformative legislation solutions. Covid-19’s spread has accelerated the digitization of public life. The pandemic has become a game-changer for public policy and government administration. This study examines scientific papers using the Dimensions.ai research information system from Digital Science. With 98 articles between 2021 and 2023, dimension.ai bibliographic analysis shows that scholarly interest in mass legislation, post-pandemic, and participatory democracy has increased. Human society, legal studies and law, language, communication, and culture, and business, management, and tourism dominate mass legislation, post-pandemic, and participatory democracy study. According to article origin, the US and England contribute the most with 30 articles each. Then China and Germany rank second and third. Europe dominates the continents over Asia and America. Visualizing the co-authorship network indicates a correlation between crowd legislation, post-pandemic, and participatory democracy scholars. Crowdsourcing policies and laws can improve inclusivity, openness, accountability, dialogue, and community empowerment. Through crowdsourcing, the legislative process increases public participation and crowd capital by improving knowledge, access to new ideas, and public commitment. ideally it helps build more participatory policy making and improve democracy and products of law.
