Unelected bodies, such as independent central banks, economic
regulators, risk managers and auditors have become a worldwide
phenomenon. Democracies are increasingly turning to them to
demarcate boundaries between the market and the state, to resolve
conflicts of interest and to allocate resources, even in sensitive
ethical areas such as those involving privacy or biotechnology.
This book examines the challenge that unelected bodies present to
democracy and argues that, taken together, such bodies should be
viewed as a new branch of government with their own sources of
legitimacy and held to account through a new separation of powers.
Vibert suggests that such bodies help promote a more informed
citizenry because they provide a more trustworthy and reliable
source of information for decisions. This book will be of interest
to specialists and general readers with an interest in modern
democracy as well as policy makers, think tanks and journalists.
