This book brings together two fields that rarely converse with one
another: deliberative democracy and development studies. The study
of deliberation - which explores normative and practical questions
around group-based decision making via discussion or debate,
particularly as an alternate or supplement to voting or bargaining
- has emerged as a critical part of the debate on democracy over
the last two decades. Concurrently, the field of development has
seen a spurt of interest in community-led development and
participation premised on the ability of groups to arrive at
decisions and manage resources via a process of discussion and
debate. Despite the growing interest in both fields, they have
rarely engaged with one another. Studying the intersection between
deliberation and development can provide valuable insights into how
to incorporate participation into development across a variety of
arenas. Moving beyond broad theoretical claims, close examination
of specific cases of deliberation and development allows scholars
and practitioners to evaluate actual processes and to pose the
question of how deliberation can work in the twin conditions of
extreme inequality and low educational levels that characterize the
developing world. This book brings together new essays by some of
the leading scholars in the field.
