Deliberate Global Governance

This research will apply deliberative democratic thinking to global governance and to the study of democracy in political systems emerging from authoritarianism. The knowledge produced will advance the deliberative democracy theoretical framework and enable its extension to areas where its ideas have not been taken before. The findings can be applied to democratisation of the international system, with special reference to climate change issues, to democratic development in authoritarian settings, with special reference to China, and to the problems of deeply divided societies.
