This book provides an in-depth analysis of the 'technocratic shift'
in ministerial recruitment, measuring its extent and variations
over time in fourteen European countries. It addresses the
question: who governs in European democratic regimes? Just a few
decades ago, the answer would have been straightforward: party-men
and (fewer) party-women. More recently, however, and in varying
degrees across Europe, a greater proportion of non-politicians or
experts have been recruited to government, as exemplified by the
2017 election of Emmanuel Macron to the French Presidency. These
experts, frequently labelled "technocrats", increasingly occupy key
executive positions and have emerged as powerful actors in the
decision-making process. This edited collection explores the
contemporary debates surrounding the relationship between
technocracy, democracy and political leadership, and will appeal to
scholars and advanced students interested in these fields.
