Public Lecture
Is Global Democracy Possible?
Lecture and debate with:
Jan Aart Scholte
Tuesday 15 September 2009, 17:15-19 hrs
at The Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation,
Övre Slottsgatan 2, Uppsala
We are destined to inhabit a more global world in which challenges such as climate change, financial crises, infectious diseases and migration require ever greater elements of global regulation. Yet how do we ensure that a core value of the good society, democracy, is not sacrificed in the process? This debate explores the conceptual, pedagogic, institutional, economic and cultural conditions that would be required to advance democratic governance of global problems.
Jan Aart Scholte is Professorial Research Fellow in the Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation at the University of Warwick and Centennial Professor in the Centre for the Study of Global Governance at the London School of Economics. His main current project is to co-convene the Building Global Democracy programme: www.buildingglobaldemocracy.org. Scholte was a co-author of the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation’s Development Dialogue no. 49 on Global Civil Society – more or less democracy? (see http://www.dhf.uu.se/publications).
Participants are invited to a social mingling afterwards. All welcome!
