The Governance PodcastPodcast - Knowledge and Expertise in Democratic Politics.About the Talk
In this episode of the Governance Podcast Associate Director Sam DeCanio, Dr. Jonny Benson, and Professor Jason Brennan discusses the relationship between knowledge, expertise and democracy. The conversation discusses whether democracy should be understood primarily as a system involving electoral choice, or whether democracy is a type of political system incorporating additional elements such as deliberation and the rule of law. We also discuss questions regarding voter knowledge and political accountability, democracy versus rule by knowledgeable experts or the administrative state, and the types of information markets and democracy require to function effectively.

The Best Paragraph I've Read...A Woman Had 50 Random People Give Her 25 Million Euro Fortune Away? Should We Look to Citizen Councils to Make Decisions for Society? Is there a "Best" Way for Deciding On How to Help Others?The Best Paragraph I've Read:
The concept of a citizen council—a democratic forum with roots in ancient Greece—is straightforward: a selected group of people come together to discuss a matter of public policy, with the goal of making proposals or clarifying public attitudes. Hélène Landemore, a professor at Yale and the author of “Open Democracy,” which argues for a more inclusive system of participatory
governance, told me, “Parliaments are now largely defined by partisanship and the logic of power. You’re there to win, not to learn or change your mind.” The

The Ezra Klein ShowThis Philosopher Wants Liberals to Take Political Power SeriouslyAmerica today faces a crisis of governance. In the face of numerous challenges — from climate change, to housing shortages, to pandemics — our institutions struggle to act quickly and decisively. Democratic processes often get captured by special interests or paralyzed by polarization. And, in response, public faith in government has reached a new low.For the political philosopher Danielle Allen, this crisis requires a complete transformation of our democratic institutions. “Representation as designed cannot work under current conditions,” she writes. “We have no choice but to undertake a significant project of democracy renovation.” Allen’s most recent book — “Justice By Means o...2023-04-141h 04

The year 2022 proved to be a hard test for the resilience of democracies, and 2023 continues to test the strength of democracies worldwide. Threats are both external and internal. Authoritarian governments seek to undermine democratic societies with disinformation campaigns from the outside. Or, as in Russia's case, they simply seek to conquer and obliterate their democratic neighbors. Meanwhile, home-grown groups seek to attack democracy from within, through election denialism, conspiracy theories, and political violence.

Tankesmien AgendaAulaforedraget 2021: Hélène Landemore – demokratiets neste stegI et demokrati skal alle ha lik mulighet til å påvirke ved at alle kan bruke sin stemme ved valg. Men er vi demokratiske nok?
Hélène Landemore, professor i statsvitenskap ved Yale University, mener vi bør tenke annerledes og nytt om folkestyre.
Landemore er aktuell med boken «Open Democracy» der hun diskuterer hvordan våre representative demokratier kan reformeres med nye og mer direkte former for politisk innflytelse, som bruk av lotteri, borgerforsamlinger og folkeavstemminger.
Opptaket er fra Agendas aulaforedrag 21. oktober 2021 i samarbeid med Universitetet i Oslo.2021-10-251h 17
Noen har snakket sammenEp 146: Trenger vi et lottodemokrati?Selv om alle voksne innbyggere i Norge har lik rett til å stemme ved valg, er det betydelige forskjeller i både deltakelse i demokratiet og tillit til politikere og Storting. De som tjener mindre, de som har praktiske yrker, de unge og de som bor i distriktene, har mindre politisk tillit og deltar mindre i demokratiet enn andre.

She calls it “open democracy,” and the premise is simple: What we call democracy is not very democratic.The role of the people is confined to elections, to choosing the elites who will represent us.

The fall of the Soviet Union accelerated this process until about 2005 when the pace began to slow and it even began to reverse. But Robert Dahl thought about waves of democratization differently. He believed a democratic wave was more like a transformation. It was an intensification rather than a proliferation of democracy.Dahl allows us to interpret the current rise of populism around the world not as a rejection of democracy, but as a challenge as democratic governance and...2020-12-2253 min

Her research interests include democratic theory and theories of justice. Her book Democratic Reason: Politics, Collective Intelligence, and the Rule of the Many, was based on her PhD research in which she demonstrated that decisions taken by the many are more likely to be right than decisions taken by the few. Helene is currently working on another book about post-representative democracy, a hopefully not too distant future, where democratic innovations are implemented and truly change the nature of the relationship between citizens and the...2016-10-1234 minNew Books in Big IdeasHelene Landemore, “Democratic Reason: Politics, Collective Intelligence, and the Rule of the Many” (Princeton UP, 2012)We’re all familiar with the thought that democracy is merely the rule of the unwise mob.

But another strand of democratic theory takes the argument by t...2013-11-0154 min
