Welcome to the Centre for Deliberative Democracy & Global Governance

 

 

It is true that we are called a democracy, for the administration is in the hands of the many and not of the few. But while there exists equal justice to all and alike in their private disputes, the claim of excellence is also recognized.
Pericles

 

Deliberative democracy is one of the major growth areas in contemporary political theory and social science, and ANU claims what is possibly the world’s largest concentration of deliberative democracy scholars. Many of the world’s leading deliberative democrats have spent time with us. The ‘Global Governance’ in our title emphasizes research directions that encompass transnational democracy and democratization, though research on democratic theory, local and national deliberation, and the micropolitics of deliberative forums also flourishes.

 

Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance is jointly sponsored by the College of Arts and Social Sciences (in particular, the Political Science Program) and College of Asia and the Pacific (in particular, the Department of International Relations). Funding is also supplied by the Australian Research Council.
