Vous êtes en réunion. Une douzaine de personnes autour de vous tentent de s'accorder sur une décision urgente et importante. Très vite, la pagaille s'installe, le président de séance est débordé, quelques individus quittent la salle. Ne parvenant pas au consensus, ni même à un compromis, on reporte la décision à une prochaine réunion. Décider à plusieurs propose des parades : faire taire le leader, désigner un avocat du diable, instituer la confrontation et encourager l'esprit critique, s'entourer d'experts, oser l'expérimentation, etc. Des recettes ? Non : des outils, pour nous obliger à vérifier les informations, animer avec méthode, concevoir des solutions en misant sur l'intelligence collective tout en évitant la pensée unique, permettre l'expression du plus grand nombre sans étouffer la raison.

Stefano Bartolini argues that, despite the growth of a large theoretical literature about institutions and institutionalism over the last thirty years, the specific nature of political institutions has been relatively neglected. Political institutions have been subsumed into the broader problems of the emergence, persistence, change and functions of all types of institutions. The author defines political institutions strictly as norms and rules of 'conferral', to be distinguished from norms/rules of 'conduct' and of 'recognition'. They are those norms and rules that empower rulers, set limits to the capacity to ensure behavioural compliance, and define the proper means for achieving such compliance. This book draws logical and empirical consequences from this understanding, to distinguish different types of norms/rules, and to specify the peculiarities of those norms/rules that are 'political'. The book will appeal to researchers of political institutions in comparative politics, and in political science and political sociology more broadly.

James Madison wrote, 'Had every Athenian citizen been a Socrates, every Athenian assembly would still have been a mob'. The contributors to this volume discuss and for the most part challenge this claim by considering conditions under which many minds can be wiser than one. With backgrounds in economics, cognitive science, political science, law and history, the authors consider information markets, the internet, jury debates, democratic deliberation and the use of diversity as mechanisms for improving collective decisions. At the same time, they consider voter irrationality and paradoxes of aggregation as possibly undermining the wisdom of groups. Implicitly or explicitly, the volume also offers guidance and warnings to institutional designers.
