Description
This book presents a systematic account of the relationship between political parties and deliberative democracy.
It shows which parties prefer deliberation, how intra-party deliberation takes place in practice beyond theoretical models and general descriptions, and how political elites and party members perceive deliberative democracy. Specifically, the book answers how party characteristics influence the use of deliberation by political parties, why intra-party deliberation differs in its use and functioning across parties, and how politicians and party members see deliberation.
This book is of key interest to scholars and students of party politics, deliberative democracy, democratic innovations, political theory and more broadly, comparative politics.
