Author here. Frustrating situation. As the title is long at 84 characters, we know that Google is definitely going to rewrite it. The simplest way is to break it into parts and get rid of the shortest part that still makes sense.

So maybe take

'Towards Platform Democracy: Policymaking Beyond Corporate CEOs and Partisan Pressure'

And 1) condense it and 2) lose the colon

'Platform Democracy is Policymaking Beyond CEOs & Partisanship' (60 characters)

If that is too condensed, you could try a a short title in the <title> and a longer title in the copy.
