Public demand for technocratic expertise rises in times of crisis: what does this mean for democracy?

Bertsou, Eri (2020). Public demand for technocratic expertise rises in times of crisis: what does this mean for democracy? London: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

Abstract

Independent experts have played a prominent role in the responses of European governments to the Covid-19 outbreak. But while there appears to have been broad public support for the involvement of experts in policymaking during the crisis, are there potential implications for democracy? Drawing on a new book, Eri Bertsou presents five lessons learned from research on technocratic politics and the role of independent experts in democratic systems.
