Deliberation Across Deeply Divided Societies
This analysis of deliberative transformative moments gives deliberative research a dynamic aspect, opening practical applications in deeply divided societies.
The Foundations of Deliberative Democracy
Deliberative democracy is now an influential approach to the study of democracy and political behaviour. Its key proposition is that, in politics, it is not only power that counts, but good discussions and arguments too. This book examines the interplay between the normative and empirical aspects of the deliberative model of democracy. Jürg Steiner presents the main normative controversies in the literature on deliberation, including self-interest, civility and truthfulness. He then summarizes the empirical literature on deliberation and proposes methods by which the level of deliberation can be measured rather than just assumed. Steiner's empirical research is based in the work of various research groups, including experiments with ordinary citizens in the deeply divided societies of Colombia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Belgium, as well as Finland and the European Union. Steiner draws normative implications from a combination of both normative controversies and empirical findings.
European Democracies
European Democracies is a survey of European politics. Using a topical approach the author looks at various situations in European politics and compares them with similar experiences in American politics. This second edition has been updated to take into account the political changes in central and Eastern Europe in 1989 and the consequent 1990 elections.
Deliberative Politics in Action
Stressing the role of conversation, argument and negotiation in politics, particularly in democratic government, this book offers an empirical study of deliberative politics. Using the parliamentary debates in Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States as an empirical base, the authors measure the level of deliberation by constructing a discourse quality index, characterized by a high inter-coder reliability.
Conscience in Politics
First published in 1996.What Jurg Steiner has done with this book takes more than a pinch of professional courage. He is asking us to consider seriously the possibility that politicians make choices of conscience daily and that such choices frequently override considerations of partisanship and personal advantage.
