Democracy across borders : parliamentarians and international public spheres

Šabič, Zlatko (author)

The article focuses on international parliamentary institutions (IPIs), which generally do not receive much attention in the scholarly literature. However, it can be argued that in spite of some notable difficulties, such as the lack of membership continuity and lack of funding, IPIs can contribute to the reduction of the global/regional democratic deficit. To account for, and discuss the prospects of, increased involvement of parliamentarians in international affairs, the concepts of deliberative democracy and international public spheres have been used.

Abstract

Članek obravnava mednarodne parlamentarne institucije, ki običajno niso deležne velike pozornosti v znanstveni literaturi. Kljub nekaterim očitnim težavam, kot sta odsotnost trajnega članstva in pomanjkanje finančnih sredstev,pa te institucije lahko prispevajo k zmanjševanju globalnega/regionalnega demokratičnega primanjkljaja. Vse večja vključenost parlamentarcev v mednarodne odnose je posebej obravnavana z vidika deliberativne demokracije in mednarodne javne sfere.
