> My colleague May Thorseth (Programme for Applied Ethics, Norwegian
> University of Science and Technology, Trondheim) has written extensively on
> deliberative democracy online - most recently:
>
> Reflective judgment and enlarged thinking online
> Ethics and Information Technology, Volume 10, Number 4 / December, 2008
> DOI    10.1007/s10676-008-9166-6
> Pages    221-231
> (see <http://www.springerlink.com/content/e1vr2554g732v805>)
>
> May discusses especially the deliberative polling projects done in the U.S.,
> including Robert Cavalier's PICOLA ("Public Informed Citizen Online
> Assembly) project <http://caae.phil.cmu.edu/picola/>, and places these in
> the context of larger theoretical considerations regarding
> "post-Habermasian" (my phrase) understandings of how to include as many
> voices / styles within deliberation as possible (i.e., not simply
> traditional rational argument, but also, e.g., narrative) and John Dewey's
> classic articulation of "the problem of the public" in modern democracies.
