Network Deliberative Democracy:Concepts,Functions,and the Balance
"Network Deliberative Democracy"is a comprehensive and universal concept that meets the re-quirements of online political practice.Network Deliberative Democracy is a kind of individual democracy with"deliberation"as its core,which runs through the entire network ecological process,and leads to the development of other derivative democracies.Network Deliberative Democracy has its strengths and weak-nesses.Its strengths lie in its orientation towards fairness and justice throughout the stages of initiation,process,and outcome;its weaknesses include deliberation without decision-making,deliberation without ac-tion,the challenge of deliberating on major issues versus minor ones,difficulty in achieving deliberative out-comes,and the polarization driven by emotional discussions.Promoting the healthy development of Net-work Deliberative Democracy requires strengthening the setting of public agenda topics,constructing mech-anisms for safeguarding rights,preventing the misuse of network technology,and providing operational le-gal and institutional safeguards.
