Electoral democracies are in crisis. To face it, randomly selected deliberative minipublics such as the citizens' assemblies for the climate are organized. Sortition was widespread in history. Can it contribute to a democratic renewal? This book provides the first reconstruction of the government of chance from Athens to contemporary experiments.
