Deliberative Democracy and the Problem of its Practical Implementation

Summary/Abstract: Deliberative democracy holds that, for a democratic decision to be legitimate, it must be preceded by deliberation among decision-makers. this means that democratic decision cannot be merely the aggregation of preferences that occurs in vot-ing. thus, citizens may change their initial opinions and preferences as a result of the reflection induced by deliberative communication and by taking into account other people’s opinions. the aim of this paper is to outline the view of deliberative democ-racy developed by amy Gutmann and Dennis thompson as well as to address some of the concerns raised by the critics regarding its practical implementation.
