Deliberative democrats should read the book for its careful and insightful critique of the emphasis on consensus and rationality in deliberative democracy. Post-structuralists should read the book for its careful development of a post-structuralist and radical democratic approach to democracy. In particular, Norval's attempt to develop a conception of democratic argumentation, subjectivity and community is praiseworthy.'

Reflecting on this interplay between tradition and innovation, Aletta J. Norval offers fresh insights into the global complexities of the formation of democratic subjectivity, the difficult emergence and articulation of political claims, the constitution of democratic relations between citizens and the deepening of our democratic imagination. Aversive Democracy draws inspiration from a critical engagement with deliberative and post-structuralist models of democracy, whilst offering a distinctive reading inspired by contemporary work on the later Wittgenstein. This is a creative and insightful work which reorients democratic theory, elucidating the character of the commitments we engage in when we participate in democratic life together.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: towards an aversive account of democracy\u003cbr\u003e 1.
