Abstract
This research aimed at gaining insights into how the discourse dynamics of contestation and consensus promote the deliberative democratic quality in multi-stakeholder initiatives. For this, a case study was conducted in a qualitative manner with interviews accounting as main data. The findings of this research extend the contestatory deliberative perspective on MSIs and shed light on enabling forces of stakeholder dialogue that allow for a constitutive tension between different types of contestation and consensus. These were found to promote the deliberative democratic quality of the MSI, characterized by a climate of collaboration, the inclusion of all stakeholders, deliberation, transparency and output legitimacy.
