The Sydney Democracy Network (SDN) invites you to its second annual Festival of Democracy at the University of Sydney from the 24th
 to the 27th of September.  Four full days of talks, debates, workshops, art and cinema will focus on the formidable practical challenges confronting democracy across the globe.



The SDN welcomes the general public to join the discussion on a range of tough issues: disaffection with political parties and the democratic process; the lack of public accountability of Australia’s extractive industries; corruption and political instability
 in China; the crisis in representative democracy; how democracy functions in the face of economic and social inequality; and the rise of anti-democratic regimes.



Speakers and sessions will cover regions as diverse as the Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East.
