However, the deliberative model is still somewhat underdeveloped when it comes to issues of diversity and difference. This essay deals with such deficiencies by analysing deliberative democracy in the light of the critique
launched by difference- and radical democrats. I will attempt to give an account of how deliberative democracy can deal with difference and diversity in a
constructive way. Thus, my aim is to give a theoretical outline of how the concept of deliberative democracy best be used in a multicultural context. (Less)
