Reviews

""This is a thought-provoking and carefully argued book. It makes a unique contribution that adds substantially to our understanding of how deliberative democracy should work."" - Kevin Olson, author of Reflexive Democracy: Political Equality and the Welfare State ""The author does an excellent job of explaining how the theory of deliberative democracy requires a multidimensional concept of freedom. No one had done this yet, but it needed to be done."" - Christopher F. Zurn, author of Deliberative Democracy and the Institutions of Judicial Review
