In deliberative democratic theory this is a common claim. Publicity, it is argued, forces actors to switch from market-style bargaining to a behaviour more appropriate for the political sphere, where the proper way of reaching agreement is by convincing others using public-spirited arguments. Daniel Naurin has conducted the first comprehensive analysis and test of the theory of publicity's civilising effect. The theory is tested on business lobbyists - presumably the most market-oriented actors in politics - acting on different arenas characterised by varying degrees of transparency and publicity. Innovative scenario-interviews with lobbying consultants in Brussels and in Stockholm are compared and contrasted with a unique sample of previously confidential lobbying letters. The results are both disappointing and encouraging to deliberative democratic theorists. While the positive force of publicity seems to be overrated, it is found that even behind closed doors business lobbyists must adapt to the norms of the forum."--Cover Výrazy tezauru zájmová skupina * průhlednost rozhodování * politická morálka * Evropská unie Klasifikační znaky 0431 - Politický život a bezpečnost veřejnosti ISBN 978-0-9552488-4-9 Copy count 1, currently available 1 URL Deliberation behind closed doors: transparency and lobbying in the European Union (obsah) Document kind Monografie Call number Location Info F 83198 EXH - externí sklad Holešovice
