Current Work
Dr. Bowman's research investigates the practices, institutions, cultures, and habits of mind that promote — or undercut — robust, meaningful forms of democratic governance. Through his research and writing, he aims to promote more just and inclusive governance arrangements, in private as well as public organizations. He is co-author of Deliberative Global Governance (Cambridge University Press, 2019), a proposal for remaking global governance along more inclusive, participatory, and deliberative lines. He and his co-authors offer an approach to global governance that draws on the wisdom of communities directly affected by climate change, political violence, extreme poverty and other global problems to develop solutions that will best serve humanity’s needs and interests.
