Technocracy and the Law is almost preternaturally salient in terms of subject-matter in the contemporary pandemic era. This book attempts to decipher the world of expert technocracy and to explore who these experts are and the role they play in policy making. The challenge of making these 'nobodies' visible and accountable to politics and the law receives nuanced and broad ranging treatment. The link, or otherwise, with accountability is the central axis. The very detailed and often extremely perceptive analysis expands our vision of international and European law.

This is a very timely volume. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, an analysis of the accountability of experts is more salient than ever. Elected officials can only govern with the help of experts, but the voters cannot throw the experts out. This well-crafted volume puts the spotlight on the power of experts and disentangles the complex relationships between democratic politics and meaningful expertise accountability.

Technocracy and the Law offers a novel and timely contribution to the study of accountability and expertise. The book succeeds in weaving together a high-level conceptual analysis of the meaning of accountability in the context of multi-level global governance, with a series of in-depth case studies that examine how accountability is realized in several expert domains, ranging from food safety, to radiological standards, pesticides and toxicology. The book is a must-read for people interested in philosophy of science, global governance, and the regulation of expertise.
