The study reveals that these three paradigms have an ethical foundation, deeply rooted in historical experiences. The narrative takes the reader into the very moments when individual leaders and organisers made the crucial developments in white heat of critical moments in history, such as the English Revolution of the 1640s, the Chartist Movement of the 1840s and the early Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. This history provides a valuable resource for resolving current social movement conflict over decision making.Studies in Critical Social Sciences84.Group decision makingCase studiesPolitical sociologyDeliberative democracySocial historyDeliberative democracyfastGroup decision makingfastPolitical sociologyfastSocial historyfastCase studies.fastElectronic books.Group decision makingPolitical sociology.Deliberative democracy.Social history.Deliberative democracy.Group decision making.Political sociology.Social history.306.2Blunden Andy928688NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910480215403321The origins of collective decision making2087097UNINA
