Klappentext zu „Democratic Decision-making “
This book provides a practical guide to how groups of people, everywhere, from the local village council to the United Nations Security Council, can best make collective decisions. By comparing the many voting procedures used in democratic decision-making, it explains why win-or-lose binary voting can be inaccurate and divisive, while the more inclusive preferential points system of voting can be so much more accurate and, therefore, more democratic; indeed, it is a win-win methodology. The text, essential reading for anyone interested in fair and participatory collective decision-making, also compares the most common electoral systems.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Democratic Decision-making “

Pressezitat
"For those practitioners who are already convinced of consensus decision-making's merits, and therefore less in need of a theoretical discussion than a 'how-to' guide, this book will be a welcome contribution. Broader audiences may enjoy it too: there should always be a space for big ideas in research, and Democratic Decision-making is certainly that. Emerson deserves credit for championing his sincerely-held belief in consensus politics despite continued indifference from much of the 'formal' political world." (Luke Field,Irish Political Studies, March 28, 2021)
