It aims to improve citizens democratic control and vindicate the value of citizens participation against conceptions that threaten to undermine it. The book critically analyzes deep pluralist, epistocratic, and lottocratic conceptions of democracy. Their defenders propose various institutional shortcuts to help solve problems of democratic governance such as overcoming disagreements, citizens political ignorance, or poor-quality deliberation. However, all these shortcut proposals require citizens to blindly defer to actors over whose decisions they cannot exercise control. Implementing such proposals would therefore undermine democracy. Moreover, it seems naive to assume that a community can reach better outcomes faster if it bypasses the beliefs and attitudes of its citizens. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts to make a community better than its members. The only road to better outcomes is the long, participatory road that is taken when citizens forge a collective will by changing one anothers hearts and minds. However difficult the process of justifying political decisions to one another may be, skipping it cannot get us any closer to the democratic ideal. Starting from this conviction, the book defends a conception of democracy without shortcuts. This conception sheds new light on long-standing debates about the proper scope of public reason, the role of religion in politics, and the democratic legitimacy of judicial review. It also proposes new ways to unleash the democratic potential of institutional innovations such as deliberative minipublics.</p>...4127862Democracy without Shortcuts390410https://www.gandhi.com.mx/democracy-without-shortcuts-9780192587527/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2943811/7c0c9581-132a-4b51-9890-9ab2c858a4e4.jpg?v=638384664031470000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20199780192587527_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_<p>This book articulates a participatory conception of deliberative democracy that takes the democratic ideal of self-government seriously.
