Carole Pateman on Rousseau - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 507
Rousseau/Pateman: Thesis: Rousseau is a theoretician of participatory democracy theory par excellence.
1. There is a (causal) connection between the power structures in institutions and the attitudes and dispositions of the people who work or act within these institutions. (1)
2. Participation/Rousseau/Pateman: Thesis: For Rousseau (and thus for Pateman), participation has above all an educational function.
SchaalVsPateman: the conclusions Pateman draws from her reading of Rousseau are not covered by recent Rousseau research: a) Rousseau's "The Social Contract" does not run an election campaign, b) Whether Rousseau's decision-making is internal or public is controversial.
