About the Book

Sortition is widely used in our political systems to constitute citizen panels. It is now possible to study the limits of this method of selecting our political representatives. This book presents the institutionalization of sortition while questioning its political consequences in terms of representation and deliberation. Several examples are used, such as the Citizens' Climate Convention in France and the Conference on the Future of Europe. In the end, the book helps to identify the consequences of using sortition with regard to the principles of equality and inclusion. Above all, it offers readers the possibility of continuing to reflect on this method of random selection, while promoting the implementation of greater equality between citizens.

Review :
"This book represents the first comprehensive attempt to scrutinize the theoretical challenges that the return of sortition in politics has to face. Anyone interested in the issue should read it." - Yves Sintomer, professor of political science, Paris 8 University, and author of The Government of Chance: Sortition and Democracy from Athens to the Present. "This book offers a critical analysis of the democratic potential of sortition, based on in-depth theoretical reflections and an uncompromising assessment of citizens' panels. Far from closing the debate, it will undoubtedly serve as a reference for future discussions." - Samuel Hayat, CNRS researcher in political science, Centre for Political Research at Sciences Po (CEVIPOF). "Against Sortition? - the quotation mark is of course of the utmost importance - provides a complete critical examination of selection by lot in politics... Let's hope that this book will mark the coming of age of studies on sortition and lotteries." - Antoine Chollet, Université de Lausanne. "Against Sortition? is an essential part of the contemporary conversation about this important new democratic institution." - Peter Stone, author of The Luck of the Draw: The Role of Lotteries in Decision Making (Oxford University Press).
