A Utopian Democracy: Looking beyond 2020

What might a Utopian Democracy look like in 2020 and beyond? Satisfaction with democracy is waning world-wide in what has been described by some as a ‘democratic recession’. As researchers begin to focus on how we can rebuild trust and strengthen democratic practice in Australia, this event will facilitate conversations across the trust divide involving the Australian Public Service, academics and the public, to explore what a Utopian Democracy could like in the future.

IPAA is pleased to deliver this event in partnership with the DESIGN Canberra Festival and the Museum of Australian Democracy.
