Recenzje

'For citizens, students, and scholars who care about deliberation and democracy in theory and practice, Michael A. Neblo's work is essential reading … Deliberative Democracy between Theory and Practice points the way forward to more productive interaction between deliberative theorists and empirical social scientists, helping both sides to avoid talking past each other and opening up promising avenues for evaluating the deliberative system. Neblo's work is both clear-eyed and deeply empathetic: he confronts squarely the limitations and vexing challenges of citizenship in modern mass democracy, while still retaining a capacious sense of care and respect for the ordinary women and men whose views and conversations are at the heart of the deliberative system. [The book] thus holds up a vision of deliberative democratic citizenship that is at once empirically grounded and theoretically rich.' Christopher Karpowitz, Co-Director, Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy, Brigham Young University, Utah, and author of Deliberation, Democracy, and Civic Forums
