Deliberative Democracy

Theories of Knowledge, Psychology, Deliberation and Government




The goal of this site is to gather infrmation about deliberation and develope general theory about deliberation and deliberative democracy.

Contents

Why do we need deliberation?

Deliberation may be the most important field of research humankind will engage in the 21th century. Deliberation is so important, because every group of people as small as a group composed of two people, like a couple, to groups as large as hounderds of milions, like states, needs to find solutions that will help their members prosper. To prosper, all groups have to arrive at the best solutions available in their current situation. Deliberation is a field of research that engages the ways people can work together, with corroborated knoweldge to pursuit the best solutions. If we will understand how to promote together the best solution through agreements, we will find ways to bring prosperity to wider population, and we may also bring more peace among nations.

why do we need deliberative democracy

Why do we need a Framework for Deliberation

The theory of deliberation has so far defied a strong connection with empirical research. One of the reason for that is the complexty of this field. The Public Deliberation research field is not an easy field for research. It includes the fields of political science, social interactions, individual psychology, interpersonal communication, the processing of knowledge and much more. In each of it's subfields there are many areas of intradisciplnary and interdisciplinary questions, each making the field more complex. This makes the research of deliberation highly complex. In order to make deliberation empirical, falsifiable theories of deliberation must be produced. Such theories which describes measurable elements and interactions of between elemnts,were produced in the last decade by several groups: steenberger et al 2003[1], stormer-Galley 2005[2], bachtiger et al 2009[3] and black and Gastil 2008[4], yet these theories only answers partly to the phenomena we find in real world deliberation. Many aspects like the inadequaty of rationality, communication styles, storytelling, social interaction, communication methods, type of medium used and much more are not described by these theoris.

The current framework does not try to give a single description of deliberation, but rather aims at describing the building blocks of deliberation, and the ways to measure these building blocks. We will examine four areas that to our understanding construct the major elements of deliberation: knowledge, psychology, sociology and the structures and procedures which produce public decision making by deliberation. We then ask about the quality and democratic values of the decisions. We then examines several methods of deliberation used by practioners, and tries to describe the elements and the interactions the practitioners used. Based on these understanding, we hope to make measurements of deliberation more clear and to improve old practices and construct new advanced deliberation settings.


Criticism of Deliberation

Values of Deliberation

see also theories of deliberation.

Equal Participation

Deliberative theory underlies the notion of ‘strong democracy’ whereby representative institutions should be supplanted by more participatory ones in order to realise the principle of self-government[5][6][7][8].

Political equality is equal consideration of everyone's preferences, where everyone refers to some relevant population or demos, and equal consideration means a process of equal counting so that everyone has the same voting power (and anonymous)[9]

Equal influance on Deliberation

in many cases of online discussions there is a tedency of domination by a minority of people which is bias for deliberation[10][11][12][13][14].

Levels of Participation

See Robert Dahal....

Better informed participents

There are situations in which some citizens are simply better informed that justify an extended participation.

Decision Makers

In the case where politicians participate it is normal that the discussion tends to revolve around them, since it is a rare opportunity for participants at the forum to discuss directly with their representatives. The survey realized by Jankowsky and van Selm on the participants indicate that “Although debate appeared to be dominated by the few, participants appreciated the debate…”[15].

Government Following

following decisions

Janssen and Kien defined Deliberation that has impacto on the goverment as "Major" and a disccusion that do no followed by action by the govenment as "minor"[16]. For the forum to become major, Janssen and Kien suggest three mechanisms:

  1. visibility of the public space and therefore its potential political influence (i.e. the number of persons reading the messages). For example, one can think at the forum hosted by major newspapers such as the New York Times or Le Monde; ii)
  2. Aim: There are for instance an increasing number of web-based discussion spaces - the e-consultation procedures - aiming at providing feedback on special issues; iii)
  3. status and power: it can result from the status and the power of the people participating actively or even just passively (just reading) in the online debates. There are, for example, online discussion spaces where political representatives or high level civil servants participate. It is usually not a spontaneous participation, but a participation resulting from an explicit invitation of the organizers.

Massages in major deliberation, “citizenspace”, that was designed to enable citizens to enter into an interactive relationship with Government, had longer average massages then minor deliberation, e-consultation experience organized by the Hansard society on the Stem research. Coleman found that the major forum had an average of 345 words per massage, while the minor forum had average of 79 words per massage[17]. Janssen and Kies (2000), suggest that major spaces tend to be more respectful and constructive[18].

Gravitating toward the power of decision makers

In online discussion spaces where politicians are present, the discussion tends to revolve around them and much less around individual citizens[19]. In other words, the presence of politicians would have an impact on the flow of communication which could distract from the equilibrium and the fairness of the debate, and gravitate toward the power of decision makers.

In contexts where participants think that their voices can have an impact on decisions they are ready and willing to spend more time to elaborate and to justify their opinions.

learning and changing decisions

Basic Democratic settings

Due to the need for the government to follow public decisions and also to make governmental knowledge transparent, an efficient government should be in place before deliberation can start. When government is corrupt and unable to follow easly public decision due to organization inefficiency, the public will will not be able to manifest itself on his birucracy. Officials will try to hold information from the public and organization inefficiency will cause projects decided by the people to disappear in the corridors of bureaucracy.

To achieve deliberative democracy, the people should pressure the government to be more efficient and more transparent.

Elements of Deliberation

Experts on dialogue processes argue that deliberative forums should have at least two phases: one characterized by “divergence,” in which opinions,perspectives, and options proliferate; and a second phase characterized by “convergence,” in which participants come to conclusions, shared insights, and next steps[20][21][22]. The first phase is important not only for giving participants a better sense of the range of problems and possible solutions but also for generating the creativity that leads to innovative answers and the sociability that gives people a stake in making the process work. But it the second phase is equally important and is in some ways more difficult, more likely to provoke feelings of frustration and antagonism among participants.

For another frame of analyzing the bulding blocks of deliberation see Gastil and Black 2008[23]. They present five bulding blocks:

  1. Creating an information base (SON).
  2. Prioritizing key values at stake (pre-Evaluation)
  3. Identifing wide range of possible solutions (Options)
  4. Weighing the solutions (Evaluation)
  5. Making the best decision possible (selecting)

They base their model of group decision making resesrch[24][25].

In my hypothesis I add the synthesis, cycle, doing, learning from doing, which help create more delicate and group-wise decisions, and learn from exprience.

The Question

How to fulfil the changing needs of the people, is the beginning of the serach for solutions. The search can go through deliberation.

Social Objects Network

SON

Why do We Need Social Knowledge in Deliberation

Common Ground is defined as a prerequisite for mutual understanding in communication processes and it consists of shared information, mutual knowledge, mutual beliefs, and mutual assumptions[26]. Building Common Ground is crucial for effective communication and collaborative work since it helps people converse and understand each other.

Flaming

Defined by Alonzo and Aiken (2004: 205) as ‘hostile intentions characterized by words of profanity, obscenity, and insults that inflict harm to a person or an organization resulting from uninhibited behavior’[29]. Flaming as an object of academic inquiry traces its origins to the pre-world wide web bulletin-board systems of the 1980s[30].

Respect

Janssen and Kies (2000), suggest that major spaces (government forums) tend to be more respectful and constructive[31].

The Stupid-Evil Reaction

Sometimes when there is a deep misunderstanding between participants, a mistrust my result. many times, the parties will evaluate the other as either stupid or evil.

Motivation and Inhibition in Deliberation

Full article - Motivation and inhibition in deliberation

Limited resources

When people strugle to gain access to limited resouces, naturly, their motivation will grow. And also, as the amount of limited resources is grrater, the motivation will become greater. This is the reason, Churchill suggested that the number of seats in parliament will be smaller then the number of PMs. Jank and Kiel found out that people tend to write longer massages and gravitate toward decision makers, when politicians are participating an online discussion[32].

On the other hand, if there is not enough space, the fight for the limited resources may become a fight and skirmishes may arise, making the deliberation void.

ROI

See Robert Dahal

Maslow's Pyramid of needs

For every need in Maslow's pyramid of needs, there is an influance in motivation to deliberate.

In the physiological needs, people will use deliberation to direct more basic resources toward themselves (like money).

In Safety needs, people will use deliberation to understand complex phenoemnon and to make the public more orderd and safe. Here curiosity and terror managment will play signficant role.

In love and honor needs, people will try to achieve commun undestanding, respect and friendship.

In Honor needs, people will try to gain more honor from others, by beeing more informed or more power over decision making.

In Self-Fulfilment, people will use their special skills in knowledge contribute to the group.

The Ego

The Ego in deliberation, is the need to control. When one have strong desires to control, without self-control or the understanding that in order to conrol, you first have to listen and synthesis other views, she will avoid listtening to others, by thinking of them as bad or as stupid.

In this respect, when one is in competition with others for control, he will try to show all their mistakes, and will strength her ideas. This may be the cause of the failuer of Eli Zeria, the Chif intelegence branch in the IDF to see the comming war with Egypt in October 1973[33].

Trust

Mebers in online groups has to acive trust[34][35]. The medium will change the trust level, when high social-information will elevate the trust levels[36]

Group Interactions

Spread of Information

Gastil and Black framework gives four aspects of socilogy of deliberation:

  1. All participants should have equal and adequate speaking opportunities.
  2. All participants should attempt to comprehend one another’s views.
  3. All participants should make efforts to fully consider each other’s input.
  4. All participants should demonstrate respect for each other.

Social Capital

Research shows that virtuals teams need to establish relational variables early in their formation in FtF meetings[37]

Culture

Teams need to bulid bridges above diffrence in culture[38][39][40][41]

Managing Conflicts

group need to manage conflicts[42]

Groupthink

groupthink

Social psychological research on group decisionmaking has shown that those with minority opinions are often pressured to agree with the majority opinion, no matter how illinformed[44]; that high-status participants tend to be perceived as more accurate in their judgments even when they are not[45]; and that people tend to credit information they already know rather thaninformation they do not, even when indications are that the latter may be more accurate[46][47]

CMC

Settings that Effects Deliberation

Settings

Online Forum settings

Online political and discussion spaces design choices can powerfully influence the nature of its users’ engagement[48][49][50][51][52].

A better deliberation may be gained by Endorsing asynchronicity in online text-based discussions,Coleman and Gøtze[53], argue that ‘the best deliberative results are often achieved when messages are stored or archived and responded to after readers have had time to contemplate them’. Contrariwise, Fishkin et al.[54] contend that asynchronous forums tend to be relatively low in ‘affective bonding and mutual understanding’. Wright and Street (2007) associate several technical affordances of online forums, including prior review moderation and threaded messages, with increased deliberation.

Anonymity

Suler identifies anonymity and invisibility as key design features in the production of the ‘online disinhibition effect’, which is simply a tendency to speak and act with less restraint online than one would offline[55].

Topic

Hot vs. Cool

Hot topic will be one in which participents will have high stakes and the need for control will be high.

Participation

Communication

Ease of communication

Taken from Iandoli et al 2012[56]

Asynchronous vs. Real-time

It is fundamental to distinguish the real-time discussion spaces (chat-rooms) from the asynchronous online discussion spaces that do not have time constraints (email list; newsgroups; Bulletin boards; forums). It is generally recognized that the former are spaces that attract 'small talk' and jokes, while the latter constitute a more favourable place for the appearance of some form of rational-critical form of debate. We suspect the different types of asynchronous forums to also have an impact on the deliberativeness of the forum, however we are aware of no specific empirical research that could confirm this belief[57].

Identification

Some suggests that un-identification will make forum more open and therefore more reliable[58], while other think it will make the forums unreliable[59]

Restricted Participation

Some spaces are restricted, while others are open to every body. The participation can influance the outcome of the deliberation. For instance, open deliberation without restrictions can drive a way experts. It may be better to assambel groups acording to a commun interest and level of knowledg. On the other hand, limiting access can cause groupthink.

Moderation

Modration style may influance the forums in many ways.

Agenda setting

The agenda setting of the debate can be decentralized (defined by participants), centralized (defined by organisers) or partly centralized (defined by both)[60].

Topic-centerd vs People-centerd

Debates can also be organized around topics (eg. wikipedia) or around one or several political stakeholders(eg. blogs)[61]
