Deliberative democracy
Deliberative democracy or discursive democracy is a form of democracy in
which deliberation is central to decision-making. It adopts elements of both
consensus decision-making and majority rule. Deliberative democracy differs
from traditional democratic theory in that authentic deliberation, not mere
voting, is the primary source of legitimacy for the law.
Deliberative democracy is compatible with both representative democracy and
direct democracy. Some practitioners and theorists use the term to encompass
representative bodies whose members authentically deliberate on legislation
without unequal distributions of power, while others use the term
exclusively to refer to decision-making directly by lay citizens, as in
direct democracy.
The term "deliberative democracy" was originally coined by Joseph M.
Bessette in his 1980 work Deliberative Democracy: The Majority Principle in
Republican Government.[1] |
