This book considers the role of experts and expertise in
contemporary politics and the ways in which digitalisation and the
use of technique are transforming practices of governance. Asking
whether the Covid-19 crisis is likely to further advance or weaken
these processes, it examines their impact on the future of
democracy and urges rejection of the idea of technocracy as an
alternative to politics. An examination of the relationship between
social elites and technique, this volume highlights the threat
posed to representative democracy of this fundamental mechanism of
governance in the global world and reflects upon new forms of the
political-economic regime. It is important reading for scholars of
sociology and politics with interests in questions of power,
governance, and representation.
