Description

The crisis of party politics is an established fact in today’s democracies. In response to the distrust towards politicians, the use of lotteries to nominate representatives in democratic institutions has been revived. The so-called “lottocrats” claim that these new procedures would improve representativeness and decision making. In this new episode, Nadia Urbinati, Professor of Political Theory and Alessandra Casella, Professor of Economics, discuss when such systems can support, ameliorate or hinder the functioning of our democracies.
