Power in Deliberative Democracy

Abstract

This chapter takes a broad view of deliberative politics beyond the forum. It examines the field’s ‘systemic turn’ as a normative, empirical, and a political project, with each dimension appreciating deliberative democracy’s operation in an imperfect speech situation. Placing the issue of power at the centre of analysis not only identifies obstructions in the circulation of inclusive and contesting discourses, but also examines the possibilities for democratic renewal. Power plays an ambiguous and sometimes contradictory role in the deliberative system. The challenge is to critically examine the context in which these exercises of power take place.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This was said in the context of an early morning coffee with Nicole Curato in the Saluhallen, while they were both visiting fellows at Uppsala Universitet.

  2. 2.

    Searing et al. (2007) find evidence to support Mansbridge’s claim of collective outcomes. They observe that despite public political talk’s weak deliberative quality and diversity of views, ‘its public discussions nevertheless appear to produce some of the desirable consequences for good citizenship that are suggested in democratic theory and in recent work on deliberation’ (Searing et al. 2007: 612). Using a quasi-experimental research design, they find that discussing politics in public settings generates feelings of internal efficacy, perceptions of government responsiveness, political participation, civic engagement, and community identity.

  3. 3.

    Mansbridge and colleagues, however, qualify their account of deliberative systems as one that is limited to ‘democratic systems’ or those that are defined by ‘norms, practices, and institutions of democracy’ (Mansbridge et al. 2012: 8).

  4. 4.

    Normatively acceptable satire is different from an effective satire, if one were to define effectiveness as capacity to persuade and change views. Empirical studies find that satire either have or mixed persuasion effects (see Boukes, Boomgaarden, Moorman and Vreese 2015).

  5. 5.

    See Peter Van Aelst et al.’s (2017) work on political communication in a high-choice environment for a comprehensive review. The ‘one important conclusion coming out of this review is that the direst warnings are not warranted’ (Van Aelst et al. 2017: 19).

  6. 6.

    However, it is worth pointing out that no credible scholar of participation has argued that these are magic bullets. On the contrary, most literature on participation suggests that it is not a panacea (see World Bank 2001; Morrison and Singer 2007; Mansuri and Rao 2013).
