Table of ContentsReviews"""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.
