尽管有一些著名的批评者，但深思熟虑的民主党人往往对深思熟虑的微型公共机构的潜力持乐观态度。然而，当前做法的问题是，小型公共机构通常由官员在临时基础上使用，其政策影响仍然模糊。小型公共机构似乎尤其难以融入代议制决策。造成这种情况的原因有很多，特别是关于代表权和问责制的流行思想，以及代议制政治的争议性。本文认为，协商微型公众应被视为提高代议制决策认知质量的可能途径之一，并探讨了不同的制度设计，通过这些设计，协商微型公众可以更好地融入代议机构。该条考虑了以下安排：将微型公共机构的使用制度化；让代表参与审议；促进微型公共机构与代表之间的公共互动；以及为微型公共机构提供事后审查或悬而未决的否决权的机会。文章分析了这些措施的前景和存在的问题，并考虑了它们在不同代议制政治背景下的适用性。
Despite some prominent critics, deliberative democrats tend to be optimistic about the potential of deliberative mini-publics. However, the problem with current practices is that mini-publics are typically used by officials on an ad hoc basis and that their policy impacts remain vague. Mini-publics seem especially hard to integrate into representative decision making. There are a number of reasons for this, especially prevailing ideas of representation and accountability as well as the contestatory character of representative politics. This article argues that deliberative mini-publics should be regarded as one possible way of improving the epistemic quality of representative decision making and explores different institutional designs through which deliberative mini-publics could be better integrated into representative institutions. The article considers arrangements which institutionalise the use of mini-publics; involve representatives in deliberations; motivate public interactions between mini-publics and representatives; and provide opportunities to ex post scrutiny or suspensive veto powers for mini-publics. The article analyses prospects and problems of these measures, and considers their applicability in different contexts of representative politics.
