协商民主理论的流行是因为它们承诺在协商政体中，民主可以实现参与政治和理性政策。然而，他们也面临着这样的指控，即通过将基本上非民主的做法定性为审议，他们无意中（或没有）成为后民主治理趋势的帮凶。这种发展的一个核心例子是非多数主义机构的兴起，政府将决策权委托给这些机构，从而使冲突非政治化，并将民主话语转变为技术官僚话语。本文从系统论的角度对协商民主进行了研究，探讨了非多数主义论坛在民主制度中是否合法，以及它们是否有助于提高协商民主的质量。有人认为，授权决策的合法化是不可能的，没有一个文化和实践的民主元审议，使反思性的制度设计。
Theories of deliberative democracy are popular for their promise that in a deliberative polity, democracy can realise both participatory politics and rational policies. However, they are also confronted with the allegation that by qualifying essentially non-democratic practices as deliberative, they inadvertently (or not) become accomplices in the trend towards post-democratic governance. A central example of such a development is the rise of non-majoritarian bodies to which governments delegate decision making, thereby de-politicising conflicts and turning democratic discourses into technocratic ones. This article adopts a systemic perspective on deliberative democracy, asking whether non-majoritarian forums can be legitimated in a democratic system and whether they can contribute to their deliberative quality. It is argued that the legitimation of delegated decision-making is not possible without a culture and practice of democratic meta-deliberation which enables reflective institutional design.
