In the spirit of Jeremy Bentham's Political Tactics, this volume
offers the first comprehensive discussion of the effects of secrecy
and publicity on debates and votes in committees and assemblies.
The contributors - sociologists, political scientists, historians,
legal scholars - consider the micro-technology of voting (the devil
is in the detail), the historical relations between the secret
ballot and universal suffrage, the use and abolition of secret
voting in parliamentary decisions, and the sometimes perverse
effects of the drive for greater openness and transparency in
public affairs. The authors also discuss the normative questions of
secret versus public voting in national elections and of optimal
mixes of secrecy and publicity, as well as the opportunities for
strategic behavior created by different voting systems. Together
with two previous volumes on Collective Wisdom (Cambridge
University Press, 2012) and Majority Decisions (Cambridge
University Press, 2014), the book sets a new standard for
interdisciplinary work on collective decision-making.
