考虑到社会研究中所采用的方法和技术需要对所研究的概念进行一定的定义，在将“舆论”作为社会学概念进行研究时，反思民意调查以外的手段的可能性似乎是相关的。可以强调这种方法的两个论点：公众舆论的定性和话语性质，以及民意调查难以被集体视为表达公共事务观点的可靠且有趣的方式。法国 CNDP（国家公共辩论委员会）旨在鼓励国家、地区或地方就涉及重要政府投资的政治决策进行辩论。考虑到协商民意调查可能是众多试图实现协商/参与民主前提的研究手段中最系统化的，我们将通过分析公共辩论制度手段产生的动力，探讨“公众舆论”的不同和更广泛的代表性的可能性。
Considering that the methods and techniques implemented in social research entail a certain definition of the concepts studied, it seems relevant to reflect on the possibilities of devices other than polls when studying “public opinion” as a sociological concept. Two arguments for such approach can be highlighted: the qualitative and discursive nature of public opinion, and polls’ difficulties for being collectively perceived as a reliable and interesting way to express points of view about public matters. The French CNDP (Commission Nationale du Debat Public) is conceived for encouraging national, regional or local debates about political decisions which involve an important governmental investment. Taking into account that deliberative polling has probably been the most systematized among numerous research devices which have tried to implement the premises of deliberative/participative democracy, we will explore the possibilities of a different and wider representation of “public opinion” from the analysis of the dynamics generated by the institutional device of Public Debate.
