N2 - I address some of the strengths and weaknesses of the deliberative systems approach identified by the contributors to this special issue on the theory of deliberative systems. Their contributions signal significant advance in the approach. These papers show once again that deliberative democracy as a field is very good at recognizing and remedying its own shortcomings, as well as reformulating itself in response to critics.
