Are mutual understanding and consensus realistic results of political decision-making processes or is compromise the most we can hope for? This book addresses what appear to be blind spots in theories of deliberative democracy: the conceptual and empirical relationship between communication and political preferences and the institutional preconditions for preference change and co-ordination. It proposes a model of preference transformation through communication and develops a typology of modes of political interaction that distinguishes discussion, deliberation, debate and bargaining. This serves as a framework for the analysis of a fundamental and highly polarising conflict - the German decision over the import of embryonic stem cells. Analysis of communicative interaction in different forums shows how a well justified and widely accepted compromise was achieved in a conflict that had appeared irresolvable in moral terms and irreducible in terms of interest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ECPR Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46884030742679,"sku":"9780955820304","price":4955.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780955820304.webp?v=1770241702","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/political-conflict-and-political-preferences-communicative-interaction-between-facts-norms-and-interests-9780955820304","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
