To Politicise or to Depoliticise, That Is the Question! On Public Encounters in Deliberative Processes
The relationship between public administrations and civil society has always been considered one of the nodes on which the quality of democratic living depends. An important part of this relationship is determined by so‐called public encounters, that is, the multiplicity of contacts and interactions between public personnel and citizens. In recent decades, participatory deliberative processes have generated new public encounters, whereby ordinary…
Case Study Research
Case study research is widely used in the field of deliberative democracy due to the depth of insight and attention to context that this method provides. This chapter explains why case study research has been integral to deliberative democracy’s development from a normative theory to an established and mature theory guided by significant empirical evidence. This chapter also suggests that as deliberative democracy research moves towards a systemi…
Research Methods in Deliberative Democracy
Research Methods in Deliberative Democracy is the first book that brings together a wide range of methods used in the study of deliberative democracy. It offers thirty-one different methods that scholars use for theorizing, measuring, exploring, or applying deliberative democracy. Each chapter presents one method by explaining its utility in deliberative democracy research and providing guidance on its application by drawing on examples from prev…
Measuring mediated deliberation in a comparative perspective: An analysis of Italian, French and Spanish newspapers
Mediated deliberation aims to investigate whether and to what extent media may contribute to the public debate by offering deliberative elements. This article investigates press mediated deliberation by presenting the results of a comparative research on Italy, France and Spain. The corpus of the analysed articles amounts to 2074 units from 15 widely circulated newspapers. Our findings suggest French newspapers are characterised by a higher degre…
Deliberative Mini-Publics: The Best is Yet to Come
Over the last decade, deliberative mini-publics have been increasingly promoted throughout the world and have been the subject of a growing amount of both theoretical and empirical literature. In s
Flexibility, Argumentation and Confrontation. How Deliberative Minipublics Can Affect Policies on Controversial Issues
Over the last few decades, deliberative minipublics have been used as inclusive and innovative practices to integrate traditional policy-making. Because of their policy-oriented aim, but also owing to the usually not legally-binding nature, some scholars have recently pointed out the importance of understanding how and to what extent they actually manage to influence the decisions of public authorities, especially when they deal with highly contr…
Deliberazione e conflitto: Evidenze da un'analisi comparata
The article aims at analyzing the impact of deliberation on the dynamics of the conflicts in the policy making processes. We shall argue whether and how deliberation succeeds in stopping the typical escalation of the conflicts, lowering protests, generating more open-minded institutional decisions, reducing stereotypes and developing a new constructive approach in decision making. The analysis is based on the comparison of three recent cases of d…
