Deliberative worlds: democracy, justice and a changing world

协商世界：民主、正义和不断变化的世界。在日益复杂的世界中，实现对重大问题的公正、有效和公平解决办法的进程面临挑战。协商民主方法，即利用知情的公民团体作出决定，已在许多国家被用来为一系列问题制定有效的政策对策。这项研究将加深对协商民主进程的理解，并测试它们在深层次文化差异背景下解决全球正义和环境治理等问题的适用性和能力。所获得的知识将为政治理论提供依据，并有助于世界范围内解决国际政策问题的努力。

Deliberative worlds: democracy, justice and a changing world. In an increasingly complex world the processes of achieving fair, effective and equitable solutions to major problems are under challenge. Deliberative democratic methods, where informed citizen groups are used to make decisions, have been used in many countries to develop effective policy responses to a range of problems. This research will develop the understanding of deliberative democratic processes and test their applicability and capacity to address issues such as global justice and environmental governance in settings of deep cultural difference. The knowledge gained will inform political theory and contribute to world-wide efforts to solve international policy problems.
