Description
Against Sortition? The Problem with Citizens' Assemblies by Geoffrey Grandjean This book examines the institutionalisation of sortition, a method of selecting political representatives through random selection. It questions the political consequences of this approach, focusing on representation and deliberation. Examples from the Citizens' Climate Convention in France and the Conference on the Future of Europe are used to illustrate its limitations. The author explores the implications of using sortition for equality and inclusion, highlighting the need for greater balance between citizens. By presenting a critical analysis of this method, Grandjean encourages readers to reflect on the potential consequences of random selection in politics. Through its examination of these issues, Against Sortition? The Problem with Citizens' Assemblies offers valuable insights into the complexities of democratic decision-making.
