Deliberative Democracy and Beyond : Liberals, Critics, Contestations

Overview

In this ground-breaking study, John Dryzek argues that democratic theory is now dominated by a deliberative approach. As one of those responsible for this turn, John Dryzek now takes issue with the direction it has taken. Discussing the models of democracy advocated by both friends and critics of the deliberative approach, Dryzek shows that democracy should be critical of established power, transitional in extending beyond national boundaries, and dynamic in its openness to changing constraints upon and opportunities for democratization. Features

Challenge to established thinking about democracy
Unique perspective on democracy- especially cultural pluralism, globalization, critical attitudes, environmental crisis.
