This is an introductory course in the study of democratic theroy, with a specfic focus on the recent "deliberative turn" of democratic theory. Deliberative democracy is a talk-centric theory of democracy that situates citizens' communicative engagement at the heart of democratic legitimacy. In the face of various "crisis" of democracy (e.g. low voter turnout, lack of mutual-respect among citizens), deliberative democracy has increasingly received attentions from scholars and citizens alike. This course will offer a space where students learn key aspects of deliberative theory and its various practical applications in the real world in order to deepen thier normative-theoretical as well as practical understanding of what dmeocracy is and ought to be. |
