🌍🌐 In this episode, we delve into the urgent question: Why is there a need to decolonize deliberative democracy? The discussion does not challenge deliberative democracy itself—as a form of consensus-based decision-making, it has deep roots across cultures and history. Rather, the focus is on dismantling dominant Western paradigms that falsely claim universal authority. By examining the hegemonic frameworks that shape how deliberative democracy is theorized and taught, we uncover how a truly inclusive, global model might emerge. 🧭 🇪🇺 This episode is brought to you as part of the #CEMORY project — Central European Memory of the Holocaust in a Multicultural and Multidimensional Perspective, funded by the European Union. 🇪🇺 🎙️ Guest: Dr. Hans Asenbaum - senior Researcher, Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance University of Canberra.
