Abstract

The original deliberative democratic ideal, in both its liberal Rawlsian and critical theoretic Habermasian forms, was one of a cooperative quest for a rationally motivated consensus based on the respectful exchange of reasons among free and equal participants. Subsequent work by deliberative democrats has stretched the concept far beyond that—to what often looks more like a fractious struggle to strike a deal underwritten more by pragmatism than reason among people who are not particularly free or equal in their power and influence. Those stretches are motivated by a desire to make the model either more deliberative or more democratic or moral realistic—or sometimes, in the best-case scenario, all three at once. A deliberative systems approach enables all three to be achieved, some at one place in the system and others at other places.
如果深思熟虑是一切,也许它什么都不是
最初的协商民主理想,无论是自由罗尔斯式的还是批判理论哈贝马斯式的形式,都是一种基于自由和平等参与者之间相互尊重地交换理由的、理性驱动的共识的合作追求。随后,协商民主派的工作将这一概念扩展得远远超出了这一范围——在那些在权力和影响力上并不特别自由或平等的人中间,往往看起来更像是一场难以驾驭的斗争,以达成一项更多地由实用主义而非理性所支持的协议。这些延伸的动机是希望使模型更审慎、更民主或更符合道德现实——或者有时,在最好的情况下,三者同时出现。协商制度的办法可以实现这三个目标,其中一些在制度的一个地方,另一些在其他地方。
