DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRACY CONSORTIUM (DDC), USA
The Deliberative Democracy Consortium (DDC) is a network of over 20 organisations working to renew democracy through citizen participation and deliberation. It aims to bring together practitioners and researchers to support and foster an nascent global movement, to promote and institutionalise deliberative democracy at all levels of governance in the United States and around the world. The Consortium's key roles are to serve both as a clearing house for information on deliberative democracy and to build knowledge and visibility about the field.
The nascent movement in the US served as the impetus for starting the Consortium, but an integral part of the Consortium's mission is to build upon the rich history of international work in the field. For this reason the Consortium seeks to create a global community of practitioners and researchers to provide ongoing information sharing. Led by an 18 member Steering Committee the Consortium remains international in its leadership, membership and activities. This global focus aims to promote and institutionalise deliberative democracy at regional, national and international levels.
The key LogoLink contact at DDC is Matt Leighninger.
