Concentration of political power is considered as the “enemy” of democratic governance, market economy and freedoms in society, particularly in ex-communist countries. In such a reality universities and research institutions are recognised for their influence on policy directly, as well as indirectly, through the education of policy makers and society for shaping history.
“Barleti” University, is proud to announce it will be hosting the Second International Scientific Conference on Participatory Democracy. The event will be designed to share research findings, engage in meaningful discussions, learn from accomplishments and failures, and be inspired by innovative approaches, strategies, policies, tools and practices.
