This book is based on a comparative study of four grassroots local initiatives, two from Australia in Tasmania and Queensland and two from Italy in Emilia-Romagna and Sicily. By offering a critical assessment of deliberation in social movement organisations, this study identifies key aspects affecting their ability to pursue democratic deliberation and sheds new light on the role of community actors in deliberative democracy. Integrating deliberative democratic theory and empirical analysis, Deliberative Democracy and Social Movements offers a fresh analysis of the Transition movement through case studies in Australia and Italy.
Felicetti methodically and contextually examines the deliberative capacity of each case study in terms of authenticity, inclusivity, and social impact. Username Please enter your Username. Password Please enter your Password. Forgot password? Don't have an account? Sign in via your Institution.

Abstract and Keywords The chapter addresses the relations between social movements and deliberative democracy, pointing at opportunities but also at tensions in theorization and practices of democracy.
All rights reserved. Activism, Inclusion, and the Challenges of Deliberative Democracy questions the effectiveness of political frameworks that shift activism to the margins, measuring its value only in terms of broader electoral outcomes. If we are to see a democratic revival, Drake argues, we must engage activists on their own terms, apart from existing systems shaped by injustice.
