The case, The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and HIV, deals with a deliberation process that resemble many of the features of a ‘Discursive democracy’. The findings in this study indicate that the approach proposed by Dryzek have problems in practice. The case used suggest that some features of the approach does not work, and overlooks certain aspects of the deliberative process. Even so, the approach can not be dismissed, as an exact replica of the approach has not been tried in practice. Further research is needed, preferable with a case that, even more so than the case used here, resemble the approached model developed by Dryzek. (Less)
