Research Methods in Deliberative Democracy
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Deliberative democracy is a diverse and rapidly growing field of research. But how can deliberative democracy be studied? Research Methods in Deliberative Democracy provides a unique collection of over 30 methods to study deliberative democracy. Written in an accessible style, it provides guidance for scholars and students on how to conduct rigorous and creative research on the public sphere, structured forums, and political institutions. Each chapter introduces a particular method, elaborates its utility in deliberative democracy research, and provides guidance on its application, as well as illustrations from previous studies. This book celebrates the methodological pluralism in the field, and hopes to inspire scholars to undertake methodologically robust, intellectually creative, and politically relevant empirical research.
Algorithmic Institutionalism
Algorithmic Institutionalism is a multidisciplinary and innovative perspective on algorithms and the way they affect individuals and societies.
The Impacts of Democratic Innovations
Representative democracy is in crisis. One remedy is to foster citizen participation beyond elections. This has led to the development of democratic innovations such as participatory budgeting and citizens’ assemblies, through which lay citizens can discuss political problems, and make meaningful contributions. Democratic innovations' critics argue that they fail to truly empower citizens; that they impede democratic representation and efficient government. Advocates assert that democratic innovations make political systems more inclusive and democratic. Do these institutions matter for policy-making? Do they affect the broader public? What do political leaders do with their recommendations? How can we scrutinise democratic innovations’ impacts? Do they truly transform representation? This book brings together scholars from a range of disciplines to offer innovative ideas to develop research, improve our knowledge of the impacts of democratic innovations, and help us respond more effectively to contemporary democratic challenges.
The Deliberative System and Inter-Connected Media in Times of Uncertainty
Adopting a systemic perspective, this book explores media-based communication and reason-giving as a linkage process that transcends time and space. Arguments, reasoning perspectives and emotional concerns link elites’ and citizens’ political judgement within and across a set of interrelated arenas in the political system.
Mending Democracy

Reclaiming Participatory Governance
Reclaiming Participatory Governance offers empirical and theoretical perspectives on how the relationship between social movements and state institutions is emerging and developing through new modes of participatory governance. One of the most interesting political developments of the past decade has been the adoption by social movements of strategies seeking to change political institutions through participatory governance. These strategies have flourished in a variety of contexts, from anti-austerity and pro-social justice protests in Spain, to movements demanding climate transition and race equality in the UK and the USA, to constitutional reforms in Belgium and Iceland. The chief ambitio...
Social Policies in Times of Austerity and Populism
Featuring the latest research by Brazilian-based scholars previously inaccessible to an English-speaking audience, this book is a timely, authoritative, multidisciplinary overview of social policies in Brazil during the Temer austerity and the Bolsonaro populist presidencies. The breadth of policies studied herein provides clues on the political agenda, preferences, and strategies during this tumultuous period in Brazil’s history. Divided into four parts, Part I is a conceptualization: it brings basic understanding of Brazilian social policies, explains the trajectory of the Brazil political landscape, including the growth of a populist right-wing movement, the economic crisis and the incr...
Crises da democracia e esfera pública
Em tempos de crise da democracia, o conceito de esfera pública mostra-se novamente útil para gerar compreensão sobre os desafios que se apresentam. Seja pela fragmentação saturada dos fluxos discursivos em plataformas digitais, pela explosão de fenômenos vinculados à desinformação, pela centralidade adquirida por entidades não humanas na estruturação da opinião pública hodierna, ou pelas lutas sociais e a tematização de problemas públicos como têm se organizado, eis que a noção é retomada, 60 anos após a publicação de Mudança Estrutural da Esfera Pública, para dizer das possibilidades de sobrevivência da democracia. Este livro reúne um conjunto de capítulos que se propõem a mobilizar o conceito de esfera pública e de lentes deliberacionistas, para ler não apenas o quadro mais amplo de erosão democrática, mas também as reconfigurações de práticas comunicacionais e de embates públicos que marcam o contemporâneo.
