Towards a Deliberative and Associational Democracy,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In an era where citizens of liberal democracies are becoming increasingly disillusioned, dissatisfied and disenfranchised by the dominant political institutions and decisionmaking processes in these polities, new ideas of how to deepen democracy, reengage citizens and enhance decisionmaking legitimacy are required.This book suggests that a combination of deliberative democracy and associational democracy is both a normatively desirable and an empirically plausible solution to the complex problems that are present in contemporary societies as well as being compatible with many recent trends in governance. Author Stephen Elstub argues that by combining deliberative with associational democracy, the weaknesses of each model alone are compensated by the other, allowing the key strengths of each to manifest themselves. And he goes further by offering a detailed set of original, institutional requirements for liberal democracies that, if adopted, will enable a deliberative and associational democracy to be realised in practice.The book achieves this by starting off with first principles, considering arguments about why democracy is valuable and elaborating on why both deliberative and associational democracy especially when combined can enhance these normative principles which make democracy and its required revitalisation so important.Key Features*Contemporary focus, concerned with recent trends in governance*Presents new and innovative ideas of how to institutionalise deliberative democracy*Original in its philosophical discussion of autonomy and how to promote it*Covers an array of important thinkers on democracy and a myriad of concepts central to democratic theory
