Abstract

According to deliberative democracy theories, decisions taken by citizens through deliberation have greater legitimacy for those concerned. It may therefore be worth examining to what extent and at what level the decisions and recommendations of deliberative bodies are taken into account in the decision-making process of a given country. The paper presents a metric which, based on the analysis of specific aspects – the embeddedness of already implemented practices in decision-making, their deliberative level and the scope of the practices – indicates the extent to which a given country applies the results of deliberative bodies’ deliberations to the decision-making process. The metric was tested on a sample of 27 EU Member States and four groups were identified in terms of the embeddedness of deliberative practices in decision-making: Laggards, Emergers, Aspirers and Exemplaries.
