John Dryzek is Centenary Professor in the Centre for Deliberative Democracy
and Global Governance at the ANZSOG Institute for Governance. Before moving
to the University of Canberra he was Distinguished Professor of Political
Science and Australian Research Council Federation Fellow at the Australian
National University. He is a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in
Australia, former Head of the Departments of Political Science at the
Universities of Oregon and Melbourne and of the Social and Political Theory
program at ANU, and former editor of the Australian Journal of Political
Science. In a 2010 poll of American political theorists he was listed in
their top 20 ‘scholars doing excellent work today whose work will be
influential during the next 20 years’ , and was the most highly ranked
scholar based outside North America.
Working in both political theory and empirical social science, he is best known for his contributions in the areas of democratic theory and practice and environmental politics. One of the instigators of the 'deliberative turn' in democratic theory, he has published five books in this area with Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and Polity Press. His work in environmental politics ranges from green political philosophy to studies of environmental discourses and movements to global climate governance, and he has published five books in this area with Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and Basil Blackwell. He has also worked on comparative studies of democratization, post-positivist public policy analysis, and the history and philosophy of social science. His current research emphasizes global environmental justice, governance in the Anthropocene (a new era of instability in the Earth system), and cultural variety in deliberative practice. |
