This book offers a concise and accessible introduction to debates
about expertise, policy-making and democracy. It uniquely combines
an overview of recent research on the policy role of experts with
discussions in political philosophy and the philosophy of
expertise. Starting with the fact that well-functioning democracies
require experts and expert knowledge, the book examines two types
of objections against granting experts a larger role in
policy-making: concerns that focus on the nature and limits of
expert knowledge, and those that concentrate on tensions between
expertization and democracy. With this, the book discusses how
expert arrangements can be organized to ensure the epistemic
qualities of policies and democratic credentials, at the same time.
The book will be of interest to scholars and students of political
theory and democracy, public policy and administration, and to
anyone interested in the role of expertise in society.
