Democratic Decision-making Consensus Voting for Civic Society and Parliaments

“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)
