Abstract

Deliberation hold high values of democracy. It claims that every citizen should have an equal voice, every citizen should have his sayings in the public discussion about public decisions. And when making a public decision, every option should be taken into account, even if it’s owners does not have much education in the subject. The reason for that, is every citizen has her own interests in the public decision, and they may be influenced from the public decision.

Yet letting every citizen participate in the discussion, and influence the option taken by the public, results tedious and everlasting meetings. Many citizens want to shape the solution that is being made. Many others want to propose their unique solutions, while others want to criticize the ideas brought to the table. It is a very cumbersome process that may last even years, if all residents of a small town should have the same influence on the discussion. And as the body of decision makers grow, so do the time it take to make an equal decision.

So, if we want to keep the ideals of deliberation of real equality, while making the process efficient and suited for the participating of thousands and millions, we have to learn how deliberation works. What are her elements, and how they interact with each other? If we will be able to understand the element we will be able to suggest more efficient ways to conduct equal public deliberation, and even invent internet application that may help larger groups of citizens engage in the public decisions.

In this web-site we will suggest a theory which will explain the elements of deliberation, and their interactions. We then will investigate into common practice of deliberation and analyze them according to the theory. Lastly, we will suggest future process for deliberative democracy and internet application for deliberative democracy.
