Based on in-depth studies of the relationship between expertise and
democracy in Europe, this book presents a new approach to how the
un-elected can be made safe for democracy. It addresses the
challenge of reconciling modern governments' need for knowledge
with the demand for democratic legitimacy. Knowledge-based
decision-making is indispensable to modern democracies. This book
establishes a public reason model of legitimacy and clarifies the
conditions under which unelected bodies can be deemed legitimate as
they are called upon to handle pandemics, financial crises, climate
change and migration flows. Expert bodies are seeking neither
re-election nor popularity, they can speak truth to power as well
as to the citizenry at large. They are unelected, yet they wield
power. How could they possibly be legitimate? This book is of key
interest to scholars and students of democracy, governance, and
more broadly to political and administrative science as well as the
Science Technology Studies (STS).
