Opis

Based on discussion groups with ex-guerrillas and ex-paramilitaries in Colombia, Serbs and Bosnjaks in Bosnia, and police officers and locals in Brazilian favelas, this book has relevance for trouble spots around the world and shows ways in which these deep divisions can be overcome.

Recenzje

'Steiner, Jaramillo, Maia, and Mameli (2017), in a series of moderated deliberations between individuals from divided societies, find that rational argumentation and story-telling can sustain high levels of deliberative quality leading to agreement within the groups on key policy topics. Steiner's study - with a focus on how different modes and types of deliberation generate outcomes - is indicative of the type of work needed to show not just that deliberation has desirable effects, but the mechanisms and contexts that are pivotal in these pursuits.' Jonathan W. Kuyper, Journal of Public Deliberation
