This book provides an indepth analysis of the technocratic shift in ministerial recruitment, measuring its extent and variations over time in fourteen European countries. It addresses the question: who governs in European democratic regimes? Just a few decades ago, the answer would have been straightforward: partymen and (fewer) partywomen. More recently, however, and in varying degrees across Europe, a greater proportion of nonpoliticians or experts have been recruited to government, as exemplified by the 2017 election of Emmanuel Macron to the French Presidency. These experts, frequently labelled technocrats, increasingly occupy key executive positions and have emerged as powerful actors in the decisionmaking process. This edited collection explores the contemporary debates surrounding the relationship between technocracy, democracy and political leadership, and will appeal to scholars and advanced students interested in these fields.
