Deliberative democracy is a type of political decision making in which ‘deliberation’ is a necessity for democratic decision making. Through conversation, citizens exchange and debate their views, which enhances informed decision making. Thereby, deliberative democracy emphasizes the decision making process and aims to improve citizen engagement. The concept has been introduced in 1981 by Besette in his book Deliberative Democracy: The Majority Principle in Republican Government. Sociologist Jürgen Habermas and philosopher John Rawls have also made an important theoretical contribution.

In an ideal situation, everyone can participate in public debates in an equal way. In reality, power structures often pose a challenge to deliberative democracy (Young, 2001). Elites may exert their power to influence deliberative debates in their advantage, and during debates some people will be louder than others, especially the ones with unpopular opinions may remain silent (Young, 2001; Sanders, 1997). As a result, some voices may remain unheard in deliberative democracy. It is important to create an environment in which people who are usually silent or even not present at public debates start to share their perspectives and in which the ones that usually dominate a debate learn to listen (Sanders, 1997). | In an ideal situation, everyone can participate in public debates in an equal way.
