Abstract
The chapter explores the possible contribution of the stream of thought in political theory known as deliberative democracy, to the debates on the possibilities of democratizing democracy in a postliberal context, that is a context where current institutional arrangements of liberal democracies are running against their own limits in fulfilling the very principles of liberal democracy. In its first part, the chapter conceptualizes the innovations brought by deliberative democracy to these debates, and in its second part, it discusses the inherent limitations of deliberative democracy as a model for a postliberal context.
