About this book

Deliberative Democracy (Cambridge Studies in the Theory of Democracy, Series Number 1) (Volume 0) by Elster, Jon. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521596961.

It is sometimes assumed that voting is the central mechanism for political decision making. The contributors to this volume focus on an alternative mechanism, which is decision by discussion or deliberation. This volume is characterized by a realistic approach to the issue of deliberative democracy. Rather than assuming that deliberative democracy is always ideal, the authors critically probe its limits and weaknesses as well as its strengths.
