Abstract
Is social learning an important component of deliberative democracy? This chapter explores social learning as a component embedded within deliberative democracy processes. Social learning in deliberation can play an important role in the development of democratic governance. Through an inclusive, non-coercive, and reflective process there is an ability to enhance legitimacy, efficiency, quality, acceptability, and accountability in political processes.
