Twelve Key Findings in Deliberative Democracy Research

Deliberative democracy is a normative project grounded in political theory; but it is also home to a large volume of empirical social science research.

The authors thus free both critics and proponents of deliberative democracy to concentrate on yet unresolved issues.
