Abstract
MAREY, MACARENA. Aggregate Democracy and Deliberative Democracy: An Inevitable Practical Circle. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2011, vol.60, n.147, pp.153-175. ISSN 0120-0062.
The paper sets forth programmatically a series of conditions necessary for a deliberative theory of democracy to be able to account for the normative value of the two fundamental principles of democracy: human rights and popular sovereignty. The starting point is the question of whether aggregate conceptions are capable of designing collective decision-making procedures in which those two principles are mutually entailed. The article emphasizes the importance for democratic procedures to include a reciprocal justification requirement that cannot be fully satisfied by aggregate or agonistic conceptions.
Keywords : aggregate democracy; deliberative democracy; human rights; popular sovereignty.
