How might the entire citizenry of a country make the decisions
that affect them? Carson and Martin provide the first accessible
and comprehensive overview of random selection as a possible
process for transforming our modern political systems. Building on
the theoretical work of the likes of John Burnheim and Fred Emery
and drawing on their own work with social action groups, they
outline a set of methods that go beyond the mere tapping of
community opinion to reveal not only preferences but a more active
role in creating the community.
Random selection, as Carson and Martin show, has been used in
community participation in short-term decision making and long-term
planning. It can be a powerful tool in the development of local,
federal, and international policy. An important and innovative look
at government decision making, this will be of primary interest to
scholars and researchers in political theory and electoral systems,
as well as political activists and reformers.
