Opis

Contemporary democratic discourses are frequently characterized by an attitude of ‘pro and con’ or ‘left and right’ where the aim is to persuade others of what is right and what is wrong. Challenging such procedures, this book teases out an alternative model of public discourse that is based in collaboration and deliberation.
