This collection of landmark essays explains how deliberation is
contributing to the democratization of policy making and policy
implementation, fields which in the past were reserved to
restricted professional groups having the right expertise. The
works are gathered together under four thematic headings, giving
the reader a flavour of the kinds of arguments and visions of
deliberative democracy. The first part contains essays presenting
the main features and arguments employed to justify attributing
some epistemic value to deliberative democracy. The second part
offers a sample of works moving beyond the epistemic concerns of
analytical philosophers and critical theorists alike and analyses
ways in which deliberative democracy could be pragmatically
employed to boost the legitimacy and effectiveness of real existing
democracies. The third section brings together works wishing to
move beyond the model of representative democracy adopted by real
existing democracies and realise more radical political visions.
The fourth part includes a representative sample of works
discussing the influence the models of deliberative democracy
charted have had on new modes of governance.
