ARGUMENTATION IN THE POLITICAL CONTEXT OF DEMOCRACY
Readiness of the society to hold elections indicates its democratic nature and the ability of the population to resolve conflicts and solve current problems by resorting to peaceful political means. Participatory democracy that functions as an institutional organization system is generally thought a more preferable form of rule and governing. Argumentation in the political context of democracy guided by the principles and norms of the pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation is aimed at effective decision-making regarding the institutional preconditions and discursive mechanisms the interaction of which is intended to resolve the difference of opinions.
