Deliberative Democratic Theory

In: Annual review of political science, Band 6, S. 307-326

Abstract

Deliberative democratic theory has moved beyond the 'theoretical statement' stage & into the 'working theory' stage. Although this essay revisits some of the main theoretical debates, this is done via a survey & evaluation of the state of deliberative democratic theory as it is being applied in a number of research areas & as it intersects with related normative debates. Five research areas are covered: public law, international relations, policy studies, empirical research, & identity politics. 115 References. Adapted from the source document.
