| Title | A Conception of Deliberative Democracy |
| Summary | In this thesis I develop a conception of deliberative democracy together with the conditions for it to command acceptance on the basis of producing good outcomes while safeguarding essential rights and liberties. I assert conditions of fairness, diversity and inclusion that are necessary to achieve the best outcomes, and I elaborate a cognitive approach to differentiated roles for citizens according to their expected competences. By reference to empirical studies and analysis of the conditions for successful deliberation, I explore cognitive and informational problems for successful deliberative outcomes and their resolution through the use of a controlled deliberative environment in microcosmic assemblies. |
