This book develops a new theoretical framework for studying the
interaction between political parties, the news media and citizens.
The model addresses how political actors develop and push different
arguments in a debate, how the news media select and communicate
these arguments, and how they ultimately influence citizens'
democratic decisions. The author promotes dialogue as a convincing
concept for analyzing the quality of public debate and advances a
series of arguments for why and how this concept helps improve our
understanding of key processes in democracy. Based on a detailed
analysis of rich empirical data collected from referendum campaigns
in Switzerland, the book is relevant beyond the specific context
and applicable to election campaigns and public debates more
broadly.
