The project aims to explain responses to extremist attacks intended to sow division, and why some democracies prove fragile, succumbing to polarisation or exclusion of key groups, while others prove resilient by sustaining integrative, tolerant discourse. The project develops new knowledge through an innovative synthesis of cultural sociology and deliberative democracy to analyse nine cases of responses in the public realm to attacks. Expected outcomes include a new account of the democratic public sphere, and identification of how meaningful, civil communication whose health is vital to democracy, especially in a multicultural society, can be maintained. Benefits include identification of measures to counter extremist political disruption.

该项目旨在解释对旨在播下分裂的极端主义袭击的反应，以及为什么一些民主国家证明是脆弱的，屈服于两极分化或排斥关键群体，而另一些民主国家则通过维持融合，宽容的话语来证明其弹性。该项目通过文化社会学和协商民主的创新综合来开发新知识，分析公共领域对攻击的反应的九个案例。预期成果包括对民主公共领域进行新的阐述，并确定如何维持有意义的民间交流，这种交流的健康对民主至关重要，特别是在一个多文化社会中。好处包括确定打击极端主义政治破坏的措施。
