The project aims to explain responses to extremist attacks intended to sow division, and why some democracies prove fragile, succumbing to polarisation or exclusion of key groups, while others prove resilient by sustaining integrative, tolerant discourse. The project develops new knowledge through an innovative synthesis of cultural sociology and deliberative democracy to analyse nine cases of responses in the public realm to attacks. Expected outcomes include a new account of the democratic public sphere, and identification of how meaningful, civil communication whose health is vital to democracy, especially in a multicultural society, can be maintained. Benefits include identification of measures to counter extremist political disruption.

该项目旨在解释对旨在播种分裂的极端主义攻击的反应，以及为什么某些民主国家证明脆弱，屈服于两极分化或排斥关键群体，而其他民主国家则通过维持综合性，宽容的话语而证明是有韧性的。该项目通过对文化社会学和审议民主的创新综合来开发新知识，以分析公共领域对攻击的九个反应案例。预期的结果包括对民主公共领域的新叙述，并确定可以维持对民主健康至关重要的有意义的公民交流，尤其是在多元文化社会中至关重要的。收益包括确定措施以抵制极端主义政治中断。
