Actions

Deliberative states

From Deliberative Democracy Institiute Wiki

Deliberative states are the inner mental states of the members to participate in deliberation, that will influence their readiness to agree and take the decided action.

I suggest that the stakes are constructed from these elements:

  • Needs: Every member has different needs regarding the question at hand. As the need to grow so does the readiness to take action.
  • Resources: Every member has some level of resources. The higher his resources the more willing he will be to take action.
  • Alignment of interests: The closer the solutions will be to the interest of the individual, he will be more ready to take action.
  • SON: The more corroborated the knowledge is the more the member will trust the action and will be ready to act.
  • Trust in members: The more trust a member has in the other members the more he will be willing to take action.
  • keeping the general good: The more the group plays according to the general a good principle the more members will be ready to act even though their interests are not aligned with the actions.
