Jane Mansbridge - Participation, Deliberation, Legitimate Coercion

Jane Mansbridge's intellectual career is marked by field-shifting contributions to dematic theory, feminist scholarship, political science methodology, and the empirical study of social movements and direct demacy. Her work has fundamentally challenged existing paradigms in both normative political theory and empirical political science and launched new lines of scholarly inquiry on the most basic questions of the discipline: the sort of equality demacy needs, the goods of political participation, the nature of power, the purposes of deliberation, the forms of political representation, the obstacles to collective action, and the inescapable need for coercion.

The editor has focused on work in three key areas:

Participation and power

Mansbridge's early work on participatory demacy generated a key insight that has informed all of her subsequent work: the kind of equality we need to legitimate decisions under circumstances of common interests (equal respect) differs from the kind of equality we need when interests conflict (equal power).

Deliberation and representation

In the chapters in this section, Mansbridge adds nuance to dematic theory by disaggregating different modes of political representation and explicating the ways in which each can contribute to the deliberative, aggregative and expressive functions of dematic institutions.

Legitimate coercion

Mansbridge exemplifies a collaborative spirit through the practice of deliberative co-authorship, through which she and colleagues construct a taxonomy of procedures that can legitimize enforceable collective decisions.

Essential reading for anyone interested in liberal conceptions of equality, participation, representation, deliberation, power and coercion.
