During the Cairo workshop several video interviews were taped with participants in order to ascertain their views on global democracy.

The questions asked in these interviews include:

• Why is democracy an important principle for global politics?
• How are ideas and practices of global democracy the same as, or different from, ideas and practices of democracy in other arenas?
• Is global democracy feasible? What are the main obstacles that stands in its way?

Over the next few weeks we will feature these videos on our website.

This week watch Xu Jiajun from China as she shares her thoughts on global democracy.

You can also watch Moema de Miranda from Brazil as she shares her thoughts on global democracy.
