Deliberative Democracy - Issues and Cases
Deliberative Democracy
Addresses the problems with deliberative democracy – and potential solutions – in the context of empirical evidence GBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup(['ISBN:9780748643486','ISBN:9780748643493','ISBN:9780748643509','ISBN:9780748686506']); Deliberative Democracy is the darling of democratic theory and political theory more generally, and generates international interest. In this book a number of leading democratic theorists address the key issues that s…

Committee Hearings of the Scottish Parliament
The Scottish Parliament's committees were designed to provide both an alternative policy agenda to government and a venue for debate and policy learning among a broad cross-section of organised interests and citizens. Work to date suggests the former has

Is Deliberative Democracy the Answer to Representative Democracy’s Problems? A Consideration of the Uk Government’s Programme of Citizens’ Juries
In introducing a series of citizens’ juries, the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown argued that the juries could help to reinvigorate representative democracy. After considering whether the deliberative rationale of citizens’ juries is compatible with, and can be integrated into the workings of, a basically aggregative and representative political system, the main argument of the paper will be that the piecemeal use of citizens’ juries by the Br…
Deliberative Drift
This article explores the issue of what we call “deliberative drift”: the emergence of deliberation in a non-deliberative setting. The literature on deliberative democracy has tended to focus upon practices taking place in specifically deliberative settings. We ask whether deliberation cannot logically occur elsewhere in the policy process, or, more specifically, can politics based on bargaining and aggregation be transformed (or drift) toward de…
Socialism and libertarianism
In this article, I attempt to define the concepts of socialism and libertarianism. While recognising that the meaning of socialism has developed over time and is not set in stone, and after outlining the ways in which a number of writers have defined socialism, I argue that key socialist values are incompatible with libertarianism, the core feature of which, I argue, is a commitment to the principle of self-ownership. Libertarianism, I contend, i…
Reformulating activism, reformulating the activist
English Although the past decade has seen an upsurge of interest in ideas of public participation and democratisation, relatively little is known about the nature of voluntary activism. This article draws on interview data collected within the Labour Party, Amnesty International, tenants’ and residents’ associations, and the Exodus collective in order to examine the nature of voluntary participation within the UK. Using the work of Habermas and t…
Civil society and democracy
The public sphere and local democracy
After summarizing some of the main criticisms of liberal democracy, this article examines proposals to overcome the malaise through the development of a strong public sphere or public spheres and/or the re‐invigoration of democracy at the local or municipal level. In particular attention will focus on the democratic potential at the local level of 'citizens' juries
Housing Benefit and Tenant Coping Strategies in the Private Rental Housing Market
In this paper we report findings of interviews with housing benefit claimants whose eligible rent for housing benefit was less than the contractual rent 'agreed' with their landlord. Linking into debates about the usefulness of the concept of 'strategy' in social analysis, we consider whether the claimants interviewed pursued strategies in coping with the shortfalls in their eligible rent for housing benefit. Though claimants often had difficulty…
Income Multiples and Mortgage Potential
In this paper we examine the potential of council tenants and private-sector renters in England to become owner-occupiers, using data from the 1988 General Household Survey (GHS). Methods pioneered by Littlewood in her analysis of data from the 1978 GHS are applied in this paper. A sensitivity analysis is also presented which shows the impact of different loan to income ratios on the ability of council and private-sector tenants to buy a dwelling…
The Preference for Owner-Occupation
There have been a number of surveys of people's housing-tenure preferences in the last few years, all of which show large majorities preferring to own rather than rent their dwelling. Debate rages, however, about how the survey findings should be interpreted. The theoretical debate has not been helped by the limited information supplied in many of the surveys. Using data in the 1978 General Household Survey (GHS), Littlewood made a more detailed …
