520 $aIt is sometimes assumed that voting is the
central mechanism for political decision making. However,
the contributors to this volume focus on an alternative
mechanismdecision by discussion or deliberation. These
original contributions include case studies based on
historical and current instances of deliberative democracy,
normative discussion of the merits of deliberation compared
with other models of collective decision making, and studies
of the conditions under which deliberation tends to improve
the quality of decisions. This volume takes a realistic
approach: rather than assuming that deliberative democracy
is always ideal, the authors critically probe its limits and
weaknesses as well as its strengths.
