The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The paper argues that decision-making is central to deliberative democracy, especially in its microinstitutional form. However, distinct trade-offs between theory and practice are required to ensurethat this link is present. These trade-offs also vary depending on whether the forums are based onsortition or partisanship. The paper locates the trade-offs at the various decision-making stagesbetween theory and practice in a partisan citizen forum in the Peak District in the UK.
