Jane Mansbridge's intellectual career is marked by field-shifting
contributions to democratic theory, feminist scholarship, political
science methodology, and the empirical study of social movements
and direct democracy. Her work has fundamentally challenged
existing paradigms in both normative political theory and empirical
political science and launched new lines of scholarly inquiry on
the most basic questions of the discipline: the sort of equality
democracy needs, the goods of political participation, the nature
of power, the purposes of deliberation, the forms of political
representation, the obstacles to collective action, and the
inescapable need for coercion. The editor has focused on work in
three key areas: Participation and power Mansbridge's early work on
participatory democracy generated a key insight that has informed
all of her subsequent work: the kind of equality we need to
legitimate decisions under circumstances of common interests (equal
respect) differs from the kind of equality we need when interests
conflict (equal power). Deliberation and representation In the
chapters in this section, Mansbridge adds nuance to democratic
theory by disaggregating different modes of political
representation and explicating the ways in which each can
contribute to the deliberative, aggregative and expressive
functions of democratic institutions. Legitimate coercion
Mansbridge exemplifies a collaborative spirit through the practice
of deliberative co-authorship, through which she and colleagues
construct a taxonomy of procedures that can legitimize enforceable
collective decisions. Essential reading for anyone interested in
liberal conceptions of equality, participation, representation,
deliberation, power and coercion.
