Preferred term

deliberative democracy  

Definition(s)

  • Deliberative democracy denotes a normative model of democracy that rests on the belief in the persuasive power of systematic argumentations and resolutions reached in public debates and in the central role of understanding-oriented communicative action. Thus, this model of democracy is intimately connected with the discourse theory of philosopher Jürgen Habermas. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Deliberative Democracy]
