GEDAI

GEDAI is dedicated to contemporary political theory and debates on democracy, deliberation, participation, activism, and political inclusion. The group combines conceptual reflection with analysis of democratic processes to understand how institutions, public arenas, and social actors can expand or restrict political participation.

Its research engages with topics such as democracies in decline, political and analytical challenges of inclusion, deliberative practices, and forms of collective action. The goal is to produce knowledge about conditions for democratic participation in contexts of inequality, conflict, and institutional transformation.
