The images and techniques for exercising societal governance have changed considerably over the last 30 years. We have moved from the age of bureaucratic government to the age of network governance. This change challenges the traditional image of liberal democracy in several ways. Hence, network governance makes more visible inherently contradictory elements in central concepts of liberal democracy such as "the people", "representation", "administration", "politics", "equality", and "liberty". Therefore, what is needed is a reinterpretation and reformulation of the basic concepts of liberal democracy to make them more useful as guidelines for the promotion of democracy in political systems characterised by network governance. Efforts to do so reveal that the emergence of a system of network governance does not necessarily endanger liberal democracy. It can just as well be seen as a call for a radicalisation and extension of its role in the regulation of processes of societal governance
