Issues discussed relato to both progress in relations to previously organised pannels under the Conference on the Future of Europe as well as limitations regarding design, citizen selection, expert choices, consensus bias, transparency, and the lack of connection to the public sphere, due to a great extent to the exclusively top-down character of the exercise in question. While opening up EU policy-making in an unprecedented manner, the process remains a technocratic one, reflecting the ever-present tension between the aspirations of a genuinely transformative exercise of deliberative democracy and the hesitation of the Commission to relinquish full control.

Normatively, ‘post’-colonialism refers to the desirable transcendence of these logics.
