- Title
Identity Scripts & Democratic Deliberation.
- Authors
Holning Lau
- Abstract
The article describes the ways in which identity scripts undermine deliberative democracy, provides a background on democracy reinforcement theory and proposes a "script-oriented" democracy reinforcement theory. The approach focuses on how constitutional doctrine can improve the democratic deficit caused by ascribed identity scripts. It applies the new theory to four areas of U.S. equal protection jurisprudence including same-sex marriage, suspect status and racial and religious profiling.
