Deliberation and Decision explores ways of bridging the gap between
two rival approaches to theorizing about democratic institutions:
constitutional economics on the one hand and deliberative democracy
on the other. The two approaches offer very different accounts of
the functioning and legitimacy of democratic institutions. Although
both highlight the importance of democratic consent, their accounts
of such consent could hardly be more different. Constitutional
economics models individuals as self-interested rational utility
maximizers and uses economic efficiency criteria such as incentive
compatibility for evaluating institutions. Deliberative democracy
models individuals as communicating subjects capable of engaging in
democratic discourse. The two approaches are disjointed not only in
terms of their assumptions and methodology but also in terms of the
communication - or lack thereof - between their respective
communities of researchers. This book provides a comprehensive
overview of the recent debate between the two approaches and makes
new and original contributions to that debate.
