摘要
This article seeks to understand why deliberative civic engagement is chosen as a method of engagement by policymakers, using two jurisdictions as exploratory cases: the Nova Scotia Health Authority's Community Conversations about Collaborative Family Practice Teams and Algoma Ontario Health Team's Citizen Reference Panel on Integrated Care. The purpose is to interrogate a presumption that deliberative civic engagement is choice driven by an alignment between the goals of engagement and theories of deliberation. I find that in both instances, policymakers chose deliberative civic engagement largely because of situational factors, rather than through the theoretical claims of different methods of engagement and the goals of the engagement activity. I argue that for practitioners seeking to embed deliberative processes, greater consideration should be given to the contextual factors that enable or inhibit the commissioning of such activities. Cet article tente de cerner les raisons pour lesquelles l'engagement citoyen deliberatif est choisi comme une methode d'engagement par les decisionnaires; nous utilisons deux competences comme cas exploratoires : Les conversations communautaires sur les equipes de medecine familiale collaborative menees par la Regie de la sante de la Nouvelle-ecosse, et le comite de reference citoyen sur les soins integres de l'equipe Sante Ontario d'Algoma. Notre but est de questionner la presomption selon laquelle l'engagement citoyen deliberatif est un choix motive par un alignement entre les objectifs de l'engagement et les theories de la deliberation. Nous constatons que dans les deux cas, les decideurs ont choisi l'engagement citoyen deliberatif essentiellement en raison de facteurs conjoncturels, plutot qu'en raison des revendications theoriques relatives a differentes methodes d'engagement et aux objectifs de l'action d'engagement. Je soutiens que les praticiens cherchant a integrer les processus deliberatifs, devraient accorder plus d'attention aux facteurs contextuels qui permettent ou entravent la mise en oe uvre de telles activites.
