Abstract

Transparency in politics is a core value of democracy, but has to be balanced with politicians' need for deliberation arenas. Norway and Denmark have relatively similar political systems at the municipal level, but the balance between openness and deliberation is approached in different ways: Denmark emphasizes closed political meetings and deliberation, Norway emphasizes open meetings and democratic control. This comparative study of two Danish and two Norwegian municipalities shows that closed meetings makes politicians more able to deliberate, and that mandatory open meetings move deliberation to informal meetings, and thus creates less ability to consensus-based politics.
公开会议影响审议吗?两种制度背景下政治会议的比较研究
政治的透明性是民主主义的核心价值,但必须与政治家的审议舞台需求相平衡。挪威和丹麦在市政层面的政治制度相对相似,但在开放和审议之间的平衡以不同的方式进行:丹麦强调封闭的政治会议和审议,挪威强调公开会议和民主控制。这项对两个丹麦和两个挪威城市的比较研究表明,非公开会议使政治家更有能力进行审议,而强制性的公开会议将审议转移到非正式会议,从而减少了达成共识的政治能力。
