Synopsis

This volume reflects the up-and-coming academic interest in sortition. It is based on contributions to the first international conference dedicated to the subject held at the University of Political Science (Sciences-Po) in Paris in November 2008. The papers explore important theoretical questions such as how we should recognise and define differing lottery forms; the relationship between sortition and different aspects and forms of democracy; and its potential benefits to current political and commercial practice. Contributors Hubertus Buchstein, Gil Delannoi Oliver Dowlen, Gerhard Gohler Barbara Goodwin, Michael Hein Yves Sintomer, Peter Stone Antoine Vergne Gil Delannoi is Research Director at Sciences-Po Paris (Centre de recherches politiques). Oliver Dowlen is an independent scholar and a founder member of the Society for Democracy including Random Selection (SDRS).

À propos de l?auteur

Gil Delannoi is a senior researcher (FNSP), professor of political theory at Sciences-Po Paris, and a fellow of the Centre de recherches politiques. His main interests include political theory, the history of ideas, the history and theory of democracy, institutional design, literature, and music.

He led an international research programme on random selection for political office. It was the first opportunity to bring together the main authors from all countries. The research, funded by Sciences-Po, included lectures or workshops at other universities, such as Trinity College (Dublin), Queen Mary (London), University of Lausanne (2008–2013) in a programme whose main co-organizers were Antoine Chollet, Oliver Dowlen, Laurence Morel, and Peter Stone. It continued in various workshops during the IPSA congresses (Montreal 2014, Lisbon 2021).
