Building Global Democracy Including the excluded in global politics

Rio de Janeiro April 2011 Details available at www.buildingglobaldemocracy.org

The Including the Excluded in Global Politics (IEGP) project starts from the observation that many people are marginalised due to the historical accident of where they were born, geographically and socially. These arbitrary inequalities run against the democratic principle that all affected persons should have equivalent opportunities of participation and control in public affairs.
