The challenges facing deliberative democrats
Sandy Heierbacher, Director of the National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation (NCDD) has had an important paper published in the freely-accessible International Journal of Public Participation (IJP2), the journal of the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2).
Her article is entitled Taking our Work to the Next Level: Addressing Challenges Facing the Dialogue and Deliberation Community (PDF 1.3mb). She focuses on two challenges facing the D&D enterprise:
- The Systems Challenge: embedding public D&D in government decision-making processes;
- The Framing Challenge: making D&D appealing and non-threatening to a wider audience, including conservatives.
