ORGANISER WORKSHOP C - DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRACY AS A SOLUTION FOR CONSTITUTIONS AND REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACIES IN CRISIS

Description: In the contemporary world, it has been suggested that representative democracy is flawed and unable to produce satisfactory results. This has led to a growing interest in new ways of representing the will of the people and in workable alternatives to representative democracy. Deliberative democracy is a promising option for constitutional lawyers to examine in this regard. This workshop seeks to address this and related issues.
