The Sydney Democracy Forum supports interdisciplinary discussion among researchers and enhanced dialogue between the research sector and government on all aspects of democracy. Among the issues to be taken up for debate are:

• The conditions for successful democratisation
• The conditions for a vigorous democracy
• The practice and institutions of democracy
• The philosophical underpinnings of democracy
• Human rights and democracy
• Foreign policy and democracy
• War and democracy
• Terrorism and democracy
• The history of democracy in the ancient and modern worlds.

The Sydney Democracy Forum convenes lectures, seminars and workshops by local and overseas researchers and policymakers on these and other related issues. Formal membership in the Sydney Democracy Forum is open to researchers, including postgraduates, policymakers and government practitioners. Members of the Forum can participate actively in its program and will have their contact details and research interests posted on its website and be part of an electronic discussion group. The principal sponsor of the Forum is ARC Professorial Fellow Graeme Gill.
