Water Cooler Democracy: A Review of Hearing the Other Side: Deliberative versus Participatory Democracy by Diana C. Mutz

Gregg L. Frazer, The Master's College

Abstract

Diana Mutz's Hearing the Other Side is intended to be an empirical study of the tension between deliberative democracy and participatory democracy. While she concludes that the factors which promote one discourage the other, there are significant flaws in her approach to the question which call her conclusions into question.
