“…Normative theory argues that deliberation results in better policy decisions (e.g., lessens impacts of bounded rationality, forces public justification of private demands, increases policy consensus, legitimizes the ultimate choice), builds community capacity (e.g., cultivates leadership, promotes community organizing, and fosters collaboration), and benefits individual participants (e.g., provides civic education, refines individual positions, builds political efficacy and sophistication, and fosters mutual understanding between perspectives) (Bohman, ; Cohen, ; Dryzek, ; Gutmann & Thompson, ). In turn, empirical research has evaluated the extent to which these instrumental benefits are accomplished in practice (for review, see Kinney, ; Pincock, ; Ryfe, ).…”

This article introduces deliberative inquiry (DI), a practical theory designed to guide the work of deliberative practitioners working in their local communities to better address wicked problems by improving the quality of public discourse. DI reconceptualizes the work of public deliberation as sparking and sustaining a unique form of inquiry suited to addressing wicked problems. DI moves from a linear event‐focused model where deliberation produces refined public opinion and decision outcomes to using deliberative principles to guide a cyclical learning process. DI seeks to improve community decision making by focusing on obstacles to deliberative engagement, deliberative tensions inherent to wicked problems, and resources for collaborative action. Understanding of these elements is refined throughout the 4 tasks of the deliberative cycle.

“…In community-based, and often less controlled and strategic activities, participants have more opportunity for quasi-deliberative engagement than they would in hierarchical electoral institutions (Knobloch, 2011). Deliberation is conventionally associated with building community capacity on the macro scale (Kinney, 2012), even through follow-up actions after deliberating online (Baek, Wojcieszak and Delli Carpini, 2011).…”

This article examines the subjective experience of cognitive and behavioural change following public deliberation in two different nations. It examines short‐ and long‐term survey data from two highly structured deliberative forums – the 2009 Australian Citizens’ Parliament and the 2010 Oregon Citizens’ Initiative Review. Results showed increases in reported deliberative and internal efficacy, some measures of external efficacy, and communicative and community‐based engagement, though participants rarely reported increases in institutionalised political participation. Participants in an online process in Australia reported limited increases in their internal and external efficacy and communicative engagement. These findings suggest that well‐structured deliberative governance can transform the meaning and practice of citizenship.

“…Practices that can make sense of values and processes of systems become central to the study of leadership. Public engagement and deliberative civic engagement allows scholars and practitioners to make sense of the capacity of a system to exercise leadership (Fairhurst & Antonakis, ; Hosking & Shamir, ; Kinney, ; Kliewer & Priest, ). Public engagement focused on communicating values and processes of change within and across systems becomes not only a method of inquiry but also a strategy to enact leadership activity at the level of systems.…”
