{"product_id":"9789089790583","title":"Deliberative Diplomacy","description":"The ascendency of executive power in the presence of weak parliamentary and societal control has given rise to a need for deliberative forms of diplomacy in international relations. As Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden regularly include members of parliament, party representatives, and representatives of civil society in their delegations to the General Assembly of the United Nations, does this imply that a Nordic model exists? This book reviews the practice of these countries and finds that the role of societal representatives has diminished from participating members of delegations to mere observers. The Nordic examples illuminate the difficulties of achieving international governance through the practice of deliberative democracy.\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003eList of figures, images, and tables\u003cbr\u003eList of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
