- Offers a novel analysis of the effect of nonverbal behavior on both deliberation and accountability
- Bridges deliberative democracy and public accountability both theoretically and empirically, by focusing on the context of UK parliamentary select committees
- The book addresses a core paradox of why, in the past 40 years, we have seen an explosion of public accountability but at the same time have also witnessed a plummeting of public trust in politicians and governments
- Adopts a mixed methods framework to empirically gauge deliberation, joining quantitative text analysis, an experimental and coding approach, and extensive elite interviews
