深度分裂的社会似乎是进行大众讨论的贫瘠土壤。“飞地审议”，在同一边的人之间，很可能发生。但是，对立双方的人可能彼此不信任，他们可能不以开放的态度倾听，或者他们可能认为对方的论点是对局部利益的虚假掩护。也许，我们低估了他们的审议能力？本文探讨了审议民意调查（DP）在奥马地区的北方爱尔兰，一个社会最近才出现了长期的暴力，反映和加强天主教徒和新教徒之间的深刻分歧。这个话题--当地学校的未来--是许多问题受到天主教和新教分歧严重影响的一个话题。我们研究了一个有代表性的样本，包括天主教徒和新教徒，在多大程度上能够建设性地审议，以及如何改变他们的政策态度和他们对彼此的看法的经验。
Deeply divided societies would seem to be infertile ground for mass deliberation. ‘Enclave deliberation’, among people on the same side, may well occur. But people on opposing sides may not trust one another, they may not listen with an open mind, or they may regard the other side's arguments as insincere cover for sectional interests. Perhaps, though, we underestimate their deliberative capacities? This article examines a deliberative poll (DP) in the Omagh area of Northern Ireland, a society having only recently emerged from protracted violence, reflecting and reinforcing the deep divide between Catholics and Protestants. The topic – the future of the local schools – was one on which many of the issues were heavily impinged by the Catholic–Protestant divide. We examine the extent to which a representative sample, including both Catholics and Protestants, was able to deliberate constructively and how the experience changed their policy attitudes and their opinions of one another.
