Public deliberation is a research area that focuses on the process of informed and inclusive discussion among citizens on important social and political issues. It involves bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds and viewpoints to engage in a deliberative dialogue, with the goal of reaching better decisions or policies. Public deliberation research examines the impact of different deliberative practices, such as citizen forums, town hall meetings, and online platforms, on fostering democratic values, enhancing civic engagement, and promoting participatory decision-making processes. It also explores the role of communication, persuasion, and argumentation in shaping public opinion and influencing policy outcomes through deliberative practices.
