Democracy, Global Decision-Making, and Youth December 12, 2005 - 02:44 AM
Lately, there has been a lot of criticism of the global system in which nations with the strongest economies hold the most bargaining power in international agreements and forums and multilateral trade bodies have more effective power than equivalent social bodies.
How do existing institutions succeed or fail at creating global dialogues and democratically addressing global issues? What is the cost of this democratic deficit? Could youth participation in existing institutions, such as the United Nations, to increase the wisdom and representative power of the current system? Where are places youth are involved in this process? How might new spaces, such as e-parliaments or the social forums, promote democratic alternatives?
