Deliberative Politics in Action: Analyzing Parliamentary Discourse

Voorkant
Cambridge University Press, 13 jan 2005 - 206 pagina's
Stressing the role of conversation, argument and negotiation in politics, particularly in democratic government, this book offers an empirical study of deliberative politics. Using the parliamentary debates in Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States as an empirical base, the authors measure the level of deliberation by constructing a discourse quality index, characterized by a high inter-coder reliability.
