Creating and Analysing a Citizens' Parliament: Exploring the Public's Deliberative Capacity

该项目将有助于公众了解澳大利亚的政府机构，并有助于就其改革的可能性进行辩论。它还将展示由典型公民组成的大型论坛可以为治理做出的贡献。通过这样做，该项目将阐明澳大利亚民主中更有效的公民参与和公众咨询的可能性。该项目将在这些问题上开发应用专业知识，并在创新民主改革方面巩固澳大利亚作为领导者的地位。

This project will contribute to public understanding of Australia's institutions of government, and to debates about possibilities for their reform. It will also demonstrate the contributions to governance that large-scale forums composed of typical citizens could make. In so doing, the project will illuminate the possibilities for more effective citizen participation and public consultation in Australia's democracy. The project will develop applied expertise on these issues, and solidify Australia's standing as a leader when it comes to innovative democratic reform.
