Abstract
Deliberative forums, such as citizens’ assemblies or reference
panels, are one institutionalization of deliberative democracy that has become
increasingly commonplace in recent years. MASS LBP is a pioneer in
designing and facilitating such long-form deliberative processes in Canada.
This article provides an overview of the company’s civic lottery and reference
panel process, notes several distinctive features of MASS LBP that are
relevant to addressing challenges to democratic deliberation, and outlines
possible areas for future research in deliberative democracy applied in both
private and public settings.
期刊介绍:
Democratic Theory is a peer-reviewed journal published and distributed by Berghahn. It encourages philosophical and interdisciplinary contributions that critically explore democratic theory—in all its forms. Spanning a range of views, the journal offers a cross-disciplinary forum for diverse theoretical questions to be put forward and systematically examined. It advances non-Western as well as Western ideas and is actively based on the premise that there are many forms of democracies and many types of democrats. As a forum for debate, the journal challenges theorists to ask and answer the perennial questions that plague the field of democratization studies: Why is democracy so prominent in the world today? What is the meaning of democracy? Will democracy continue to expand? Are current forms of democracy sufficient to give voice to “the people” in an increasingly fragmented and divided world? Who leads in democracy? What types of non-Western democratic theories are there? Should democrats always defend democracy? Should democrats be fearful of de-democratization, post-democracies, and the rise of hybridized regimes?
