CONT

L’expression «démocratie délibérative» renvoie à une constellation de conceptions politiques [...] Ces conceptions, qui ne forment ni une école ni un courant organisé, s’accordent pour placer la délibération publique au cœur de la vie démocratique, et pour en faire l’une des sources éminentes de la légitimité politique. La démocratie qu’elles décrivent est un régime dans lequel l’exercice du pouvoir passe par l’échange public d’opinions, d’informations et d’arguments entre citoyens égaux en vue de la prise de décision.
