Join us for a conversation between leading experts on the promise, limits, and future development of transnational citizen initiatives, such as the Global Climate Assembly, and other forms of citizen involvement in policy-making on matters of global concern.

The way in which many global problems are governed today is disappointing, as international cooperation often lacks both effectiveness and fairness. Can new forms of citizen participation improve global governance? Deliberative citizen forums are increasingly common at the local and national scale, but their potential at the global level is still unclear.

Meet our speakers and chair:

Luis Cabrera, Professor of Political Science in the School of Government and International Relations, Griffith University.

Marit Hammond, Associate Professor in Politics and International Studies, University of Warwick.

Rich Wilson, Chief Enabling Officer, Iswe Foundation.

Chair:

Mathias Koenig-Archibugi, Associate Professor of International Relations and Government, LSE.
