Deliberative democracy is an embattled political project. It is
accused of political naivete for it only talks about power without
taking power. Others, meanwhile, take issue with deliberative
democracy's dominance in the field of democratic theory and
practice. An industry of consultants, facilitators, and experts of
deliberative forums has grown over the past decades, suggesting
that the field has benefited from a broken political system. This
book is inspired by these accusations. It argues that deliberative
democracy's tense relationship with power is not a pathology but
constitutive of deliberative practice. Deliberative democracy gains
relevance when it navigates complex relations of power in modern
societies, learns from its mistakes, remains epistemically humble
but not politically meek. These arguments are situated in three
facets of deliberative democracy-norms, forums, and systems-and
concludes by applying these ideas to three of the most pressing
issues in contemporary times-post-truth politics, populism, and
illiberalism.
