Description
Deliberative Democracy for Diabolical Times provides a comprehensive analysis of how deliberative democratic practices can confront the major political challenges of our era. The authors examine the rise of populism, extremism, denial, and authoritarian tendencies that threaten democratic institutions worldwide.
Bächtiger and Dryzek argue that deliberative democracy—rooted in reasoned discussion and mutual respect—offers a viable pathway through these crises. They demonstrate how inclusive dialogue, evidence-based reasoning, and collective problem-solving can rebuild trust in institutions and bridge deepening social divides.
Drawing on empirical research and real-world examples, the book explores practical applications of deliberative principles in diverse political contexts. It addresses how citizens and institutions can engage in meaningful deliberation despite polarization and misinformation.
