The Oxford Handbook of Deliberative Democracy

by André Bächtiger (Editor), John S. Dryzek (Editor), Jane Mansbridge (Editor)

Deliberative democracy has been one of the main games in contemporary political theory for two decades, growing enormously in size and importance in political science and many other disciplines. The Oxford Handbook of Deliberative Democracy takes stock of deliberative democracy as a research field, in philosophy, in various research programmes in the social sciences and law, and in political practice around the globe. It provides a concise history ofdeliberative ideals in political thought and discusses their philosophical origins.The Handbook locates deliberation in political systems with different spaces, publics, and venues, including parliaments, courts, governance networks, protests, mini-publics, old and new media, and everyday talk. It engages with practical applications, mapping deliberation as a reform movement and as a device for conflict resolution, documenting the practice and study of deliberative democracy around the world and in global governance.

Democratia deliberativa—quae est mutua communicatio, pari voce habita, de rebus communibus cum respectu, reflexione et aequali potestate ad persuadendum—ab idealibus ad concreta instituta (comitia civium, deliberationes publicae, concilia perpetua) evasit, quae legitimam potestatem augent, potentiam elitum cohibent, polarisationem minuunt; attamen impeditur a dificultate amplificandi, mora longa, exclusione digitali, periculo quo voces opulentiores dominentur. Futurum igitur pendet ab his foris in institutiones formalius inserendis, a platformis digitalibus caute moderatis ad aditum latiorem sine inaequalitatibus vetustis, a transnationali extensione ad conamina mundialia ut mutationem climatis—dum perpetuo mechanismos electionis, moderationis et redditionis rationis recolimus, ne promissum electionis collectivae inclusae et reflexae ab ipsis disparitatibus potestatis, quas vincere intendit, corruatur

Net als andere Oxford Handbooks een compleet werk dat alle aspecten van deliberatieve democratie omvat. Dit is een studieboek, niet iets wat je op een aantal avonden uitleest. Gelezen als literatuurstudie in functie van een te schrijven paper.
