Experts and Democratic Legitimacy challenges the technocratic
reading of expert bodies, such as central banks, advisory
committees and regulatory agencies. Expert contributors ask in what
way expert bodies are subject to some of the key pressures in
contemporary governance, such as democratisation, politicisation
and expertisation. Based on empirical studies, the book traces the
multiple social ties of expert bodies and refines the common
perception of expert bodies as 'de-politicised' institutions that
are detached from political interference and societal input. It
further theorises the tension and reconcilability between reliable,
independent expert knowledge on the one hand and the need for
accountability and legitimacy in modern policy-making on the other
hand. Refining the detached, de-politicised image of
non-majoritarian institutions, Experts and Democratic Legitimacy
will be of great interest to scholars of European studies,
political and social theory, modern governance and policy-making.
This book was originally published as a special issue of European
Politics and Society.

This book was originally published as a special issue of European
Politics and Society.
This book deals with the role of expertise and public participation
in modern governance. It explores the relationship, tensions and
compatibility of these increasingly important and partly
conflicting sources of legitimacy and authority. By zooming in on
the coordinated procedures of environmental policy-making in
European consensus systems and by interconnecting theories of
democracy, knowledge and science, organisation and decision-making,
the author develops institutional solutions to the tensions between
epistemic and democratic demands on public policy-making.
