1. Democracy Ought to Follow Politics, Not Political Institutions
2. Opportunities for Democratic Participation in Formal Political Institutions May Be Limited,
   but Opportunities in Society and Economy Are Not
3. Political Association Based on Territory Limits the Scope of Participation; Association Based on Issues Does Not
4. Issue- and Sector -Based Devolution Provide Targets of Opportunity for Democratic Participation
5. The Reflexive State: Using Law to Structure Democratic Processes
6. Democratizing Society Democratizes the State
