Interaction can take different forms, for instance, as negotiation between different parties, or as deliberative processes emphasising needs for learning. Accordingly, it is possible to distinguish between strategic and communicative cooperation (Habermas, 1981).Interaction in the form of negotiation encourages strategic cooperation. In this cooperation, the actors' preferences are given beforehand,while they act strategically in a cooperative setting to
maximize the probability that their own individual interests will influence the final decision. In contrary, a deliberative form of interaction is based on communicative cooperation. In this form of cooperation preferences of actors involved are developed during the interaction, with the aim of developing good arguments and solutions about how best to comply with the common interests of the society (Rommetvedt, 2005). Crucial in communicative cooperation
is the ability of actors to reach agreements through communication and reasoning (Dryzek, 2002; Habermas, 1981). Reasoning is about the mutual exchange of arguments and reflections in a deliberative process (Renn, 2006).
