Abstract

In this inaugural issue of the Journal of Deliberative Democracy, we are pleased to present reviews of five recently published books that will shape the scholarship on public deliberation in the years to come. These books engage with key theoretical and methodological debates in the field, contribute to the way we understand deliberation in relation to other political practices, and present compelling empirical accounts of how deliberative democracy comes alive in contemporary times. The reviewed titles are Mapping and Measuring Deliberation by André Bächtiger and John Parkinson (2019); Demagoguery and Democracy (2017) by Patricia Roberts-Miller Re-imagining Democracy by Jane Suiter and David Farrell (2019); Oral Democracy by Paromita Sanyal and Vijayendra Rao (2018) and Beyond Liberalism by Michael Briand (2019, Praeger).
