Thanks to @us.theconversation.com for running my piece about democratizing the bureaucracy! It’s a topical subject thanks to 3 Supreme Court cases that challenge the legitimacy of bureaucratic decision-making. And it highlights some practical implications of my arguments in the book.
Would you sit on a jury to review government regulations? Citizen oversight panels could make this process more open and democratictheconversation.com People love to hate bureaucracy, but regulatory agencies play key roles in modern society. Conservatives want to cut back their power, but a political scientist proposes a different option.

It's finally happening. My book has a webpage! And a release date! You can pre-order it! You probably shouldn't, given the price, but if you have a library (or rich uncle), tell them to buy it for you: tinyurl.com/Bagg-OUP-UK in UK (Jan 4) or tinyurl.com/Bagg-OUP-US in US (Mar 4)

There have been many strangely abstract appeals for "realism."  Sam's book demonstrates concretely how to be a realist, while maintaining democratic hope. In an account both subtle and bracing, he focuses on the dangers of concentrated private power and shows how to organize countervailing powers.
