RESETTING DEMOCRACY: THE SOUTH SIDE OF GLOBAL DELIBERATION
Publication_01
Contemporary democracies are in crisis for multiple reasons, including the lack of credibility among representatives, numerous corruption scandals, and the fact that citizens do not feel heard or taken into account in the implementation of public policies, among other problems. Thus, to work for democracy is also to get closer to its defects, challenges, and frustrations.
This publication brings together the insights learned in the first years of the project Demo.Reset, Deliberation in the Global South, and invites seven authors from different countries to investigate the particularities of deliberation in Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
