Capitalizing on Political Disagreement: The Case for Polycentric Democracy (Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy)

Julian F M�ller

4.9/5 (13326 ratings)

Description:In a discipline such as political philosophy, disagreement about facts and norms is seen as a problem not only of pure theory, but also as a predicament that fundamentally endangers the stability of society. Not surprisingly, then, philosophers regard the pervasive political disagreements in modern liberal societies mainly as a threat. However, in other disciplines, such as the sciences and economics, diverse perspectives are not primarily seen as a threat but as fuel for progress. Following Karl Popper, this book argues that whether diverse perspectives turn out to be beneficial or detrimental to society is a function of the rules of the game.This book outlines an institutional system that employs our deep disagreements in the fields of socio-economic and normative theory to speed up the social learning process. This system is termed 'polycentric democracy' an institutional arrangement involving a multiplicity of decision centers acting independently but under the constraints of a democratically supervised and legitimized framework. Since competition is a discovery process, a polycentric political system should make use of the diversity of perspectives to constantly find new and better 'ways of living', reduce shallow disagreement and defuse deep disagreement. The book explores what such a political order might look like and concludes that only an institutional system, such as polycentric democracy, which is capable of profiting from diversity, might reasonably be expected to generate an overlapping consensus.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
