Thompson, Dennis. "Deliberative Democratic Theory and Empirical Political Science." Annu. Rev. Polit. Sci. 11, no. 1 (2008): 497-520. DOI: 10.1146/annurev.polisci.11.081306.070555Abstract
Although empirical studies of deliberative democracy have proliferated in the past decade, too few have addressed the questions that are most significant in the normative theories. At the same time, many theorists have tended too easily to dismiss the empirical findings. More recently, some theorists and empiricists have been paying more attention to each other's work. Nevertheless, neither is likely to produce the more comprehensive understanding of deliberative democracy we need unless both develop a clearer conception of the elements of deliberation, the conflicts among those elements, and the structural relationships in deliberative systems.Terms of Use
