The politics of public deliberation: citizen engagement and interest advocacy

This ground breaking book provides empirical and theoretical insights into the interface between deliberative democracy and the rough and tumble of interest groups in advocacy politics. It examines how deliberative ideals work alongside the adversarial realties of interest-based politics.

She has a background in both political science and environmental engineering, and has taught and published widely on the application and politics of inclusive and deliberative forms of citizen engagement.
