Studying public deliberation after the systemic turn: the crucial role for interpretive research
本文探讨了协商系统转向后，如何用解释性研究方法识别多元沟通场所、分析场所间联系及评估背景影响，适合研究复杂协商系统的学者参考。
The recent shift towards a deliberative systems approach suggests understanding public deliberation as a communicative activity occurring in a diversity of spaces. While theoretically attractive, the deliberative systems approach raises a number of methodological questions for empirical social scientists. For example, how does one identify multiple communicative sites within a deliberative system, how does one study connections between different sites, and how does one assess the impact of the broader context on deliberative forums and systems? Drawing on multiple case studies, this article argues that interpretive research methods are well-suited to studying the ambiguities, dynamics and politics of complex deliberative systems.
