Deliberative Global Governance

世界范围内建立协商民主的运动现在应该解决整个系统的协商能力问题，而不仅仅是公民陪审团等微观创新。这包括应对气候变化等全球系统；将产生可观的环境效益。一个由更有效的民主国家组成的世界——尤其是在东亚——符合澳大利亚的国家安全利益。一个世纪以前，澳大利亚在无记名投票和妇女投票等创新方面处于世界领先地位。协商民主的工作可以使澳大利亚重新回到民主进步的前沿，并带来许多相关的社会、政治和经济利益。

The worldwide movement building deliberative democracy should now address deliberative capacity in whole systems, not just micro innovations such as citizens' juries. This includes global systems such as that addressing climate change; substantial environmental benefits will result. A world populated by more effective democracies - especially in East Asia - is in Australia's national security interest. A century ago, Australia was a world leader in innovations such as the secret ballot and votes for women. Work on deliberative democracy can put Australia back in the forefront of democratic progress, with many associated social, political, and economic benefits.
