Welcome to John Dryzek's Website
John's Picture

John Dryzek is Professor of Social and Political Theory in the Political Science Program, Research School of Social Sciences, 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 the Social and Political Theory program at ANU, and former editor of the Australian Journal of Political Science. 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 four 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, and he has published three books in this area with Oxford University Press and Basil Blackwell. He has also worked on comparative studies of democratization in the post-communist world, post-positivist public policy analysis, and the history and philosophy of social science. More recently he has extended his deliberative approach into global politics, and co-edited The Oxford Handbook of Political Theory.
