Deliberative Integrity: Risks and Responses in Mini-Public Governance

This was the online launch of Deliberative Integrity: Risks and Responses in Mini-Public Governance, authored by Lucy J. Parry and Nicole Curato. The report examines the challenges facing deliberative mini-publics (DMPs), such as citizens' assemblies, deliberative polls, and citizens' juries.

‍

The launch provided an overview of the report’s key findings, including the five main risk areas that can undermine the integrity of DMPs and responses to these risks. The report is informed by interviews with over 60 academics, practitioners, advocates, and practitioners of DMPs from around the world. The report offers practical strategies to strengthen the alignment of the governance of DMPs with the principles of deliberative democracy.

This event was open to anyone interested in democratic innovations and the governance of citizen deliberation.
