Since 2008, successive economic crises have prompted governments worldwide to undertake emergency measures, allowing for little if any consultation with their respective polities. Yet such responses have failed to resolve the underlying contradictions which continue to plague the world economy. What might a comprehensive answer to mounting economic difficulties look like, and how can popular sovereignty and democratic participation be recovered, or perhaps even expanded? Our panelists will consider possible alternatives now taking shape: a globalized form of economic administration, incorporating a generally depoliticized population reduced to spectatorship, or a revival of popular democratic participation in economic affairs.

Panelists:
Jenny Andersson (Uppsala University)
James Quilligan (Economic Democracy Advocates)
Cornelia Woll (Hertie School)
