Description

Framing Democracy: A Behavioral Approach to Democratic Theory by Jamie Terence Kelly explores the relevance of framing effects for normative theories of democracy. By applying a behavioral approach, Kelly argues that decision making should be understood through psychology and social science, rather than the traditional rational actor model. This book bridges the gap between empirical research into political decision making and philosophical studies of democracy, offering insights into how different presentations of a decision problem can influence judgments or preferences. Kelly examines various democratic theories, focusing on three key concerns: moral reasons for endorsing democracy, feasibility considerations, and implications for institutional design. The author assesses methods to address framing effects, including proposals to increase political speech, mechanisms to insulate democratic outcomes from flawed decision making, and programs of public education.
