Professor Scholte’s current research focuses on questions of governing a more global world, with particular emphasis on democracy in this context. In 2008-11 he is coordinating a major international project on 'Building Global Democracy', with a large grant from the Ford Foundation, together with co-conveners in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. The project will generate half a dozen volumes on subjects such as civic education for global democracy, including the excluded in global policymaking, and intercultural constructions of legitimate global governance.
