Abstract

What we mean today when referring to 'democracy' is, according to some scholars, 'a way of organising the state that has come to be narrowly identified with territorially based competitive elections of political leadership for legislative and executive offices' . The problem with this system is that it has distanced itself from the central ideas of democratic politics. These central ideas comprise the ideas of encouraging active political involvement of citizens, reaching consensus through dialogue and being able to implement the decision that has been reached through consensus . In recent years, a new theory of democracy has tried to go back to democratic traditions. This new strand, deliberative democracy is much contested at the theoretical level as well as at the practicable level. To understand if deliberative democracy is, as some scholars claim, 'theoretically plausible but institutionally impracticable' one first has to understand what the concept of deliberative democracy is.
