Barriers to Inter-group Deliberation in Divided Ukraine

Democratic Deliberation in Deeply Divided Societies

  • 153 Accesses

Abstract

Deeply divided societies like Ukraine seem to be infertile terrain for inclusive mass deliberation. First, it may not even be possible to get people on opposing sides to sit in the same room, and even if they do meet, they may not really deliberate (Luskin et al., 2013). However, the promise of deliberative democracy that will bring about a transformative change in social relations remains attractive.
