Equality and Electoral Democracy
À propos de cet événement
Du 28 novembre 2022 à 09:30 au 29 novembre 2022 à 19:30
Salle Goguel
27 rue Saint-Guillaume, 75007, ParisThis workshop will focus on issues of equality and electoral democracy that have underpinned the work within the REDEM project (Reconstructing Democracy in Times of Crisis: A Voter-Centred Perspective. This includes topics such as the consequence for voters of different electoral systems in Europe, the possibilities of combining direct and representative forms of democracy; the challenges of organising elections during Covid; and the impact of immigration and new technologies on voters.
A special emphasis will be placed on understanding how elections might be used to reduce, rather than increase, the different forms of inequality that plague our societies, and what it is that distinguishes democratic commitments to the equality of citizens from alternative political ideals.
With speakers including Annabelle Lever (Sciences Po/CEVIPOF) and Sergei Guriev (Sciences Po Provost).
