Beschreibung
“Deliberative democracy has often been dismissed as an unrealistic ideal especially in our time of democratic crisis. Maia, Hauber, and Choucair put all doubts to rest in this theoretically rich, deeply researched and empirically grounded study of reason-giving in a mediated public sphere. Using a fascinating case study as a foundation, this book builds a compelling picture of both what is wrong with the present state of political communication but also what we can do to put it right”.
Professor Simone Chambers, Chair of the Department of Political Science, University of California Irvine, USA
“Yet again, a highly innovative account of the complexities of democratic public debate. Public reasons do not only circulate through, and thus link, various media and non-media arenas; they also characteristically intertwine arguments and emotions. While many of us may have “known” these things intuitively, Rose Maia and her team thoroughly demonstrate them in sound theorizing and insightful case studies”.
Professor Hartmut Wessler, Institute for Media and Communication Studies, University of Mannheim, GermanyAdopting a systemic perspective, this book explores media-based communication and reason-giving as a linkage process that transcends time and space. Arguments, reasoning perspectives and emotional concerns link elites’ and citizens’ political judgement within and across a set of interrelated arenas in the political system.

“To understand democracies requires seeing many things at once—the granular lives of citizens, the flow of information and arguments, surges of emotion in digital media, and the social rules and institutions that give us laws, elections, and more. This book shows how these elements interconnect within a deliberative system. Only by grasping such systems can we save them from internal collapse and external threats”
