Persuasion, Integration, and Deliberative Democracy

The Will of the Whole

Beschreibung

In this book, Graham Wright argues that traditional deliberation through persuasion faces serious challenges, and that an alternative method based on the process of integration can better aid democratic decisions. The Will of the Whole is a fresh approach to debates around democracy and the value of democratic deliberation.

Rezensionen

"Persuasion, Integration, and Deliberative Democracy is what we need to face the current challenges to democracy. Kudos to Dr. Wright for the clarity of his thinking and writing, and for introducing Follett's integrative process. As Follett advised: 'One should never allow ourselves to be bullied by an either/or. There is often the possibility of something better than either of two given alternatives.' Integration can be difficult, but the alternatives are far worse. Persuasion, Integration, and Deliberative Democracy shows us how."
