Deliberative Union Democracy: Reconciling 'Insiders' and 'Outsiders' within the Italian Union Movement
Through a study of local unions in Italy, this research project tests the hypothesis that organized groups in which collective decisions are adopted through procedures “deliberative democracy” are more likely to develop and internalize some notion of the “general interest” (as opposed to purely particularistic interests) than groups in which collective decisions are taken non-democratically.
