No Better Time: Promising Opportunities in Deliberative Democracy for Educators and Practitioners
Deliberative democracy has reached a critical point in its development. Over the last fifteen years, shifts in
citizen capacities and attitudes have led to a dramatic proliferation of citizen participation and deliberative practices,
and in 2008 they helped to produce an historic presidential election. On the heels of these changes, new opportunities for
educators and practitioners are emerging in communities, in government, and on campuses. The primary goal of No Better Time
is to take stock of these developments and to consider future directions for educators and practitioners in teaching, research,
and in citizen-centered initiatives.
