Personal bio
Tomer Perry (PhD Candidate, Political Science) studies normative political theory; in particular democratic theory, global justice and anything in the intersection. He is currently interested in the various ways in which the global 'democratic deficit' could be bridged by, among other things, global civil society. The very feature which induces doubt regarding global democracy emphasizes the potential role of civil society: the absence of a state-like sovereignty leaves room for civil society organizations to exert influence and make decisions that impact the lives of millions. These cross-border entities are channels through which people around the world, seen as citizens of the world, influence and shape political reality. Tomer also pursues a Ph.D minor in Philosophy and holds a B.A. in PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics) from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, which is the city in which he was born and raised. |
